Drawing Tutorials

Seventy-hour weeks at my bike shop making tons of cash but feeling miserable taught me: chasing shortcuts leads nowhere. Same with art - skip fundamentals for quick results and you'll stay frustrated. Drawing basics unlock every creative possibility.

Now, why all this emphasis on fundamentals? Let me share a story.

Years ago, I opened a bike rental shop. Back then, the only thing that mattered to me was money. I worked 70-hour weeks, and it wasn't a good day unless I made a pile of cash. But after a few years, even though I was making more than ever, I was in the worst place of my life — unhealthy, unhappy, and disconnected from the people I loved. I realized I'd been chasing the wrong thing.

Art works the same way. It's tempting to chase results — a certain style, a finished look that seems effortless — but if you skip the fundamentals, none of it holds. Drawing is that foundation. It's what gives you the freedom to create loosely, tightly, realistically, or abstractly.

You have to construct before you can deconstruct. And that's exactly what these tutorials will help you do — build the skills that unlock every creative possibility.
