Just finished 2.1 and 2.2! Enjoying it a lot! Still a bit iffy about where to put shadows but I guess that comes with practice :D
Hi Sabby!
It looks like you’re doing great so far! I particularly like how soft your blending looks.
Here are some suggestions to help with shadow placement:
The area where the light hits directly will be the lightest. If you accidentally make it too dark, you can gently erase parts to bring back some of the white of the paper.
The shadows fall on the opposite side to the light. If the light is hitting the top, the shadows will be below. If the light is coming from the right, the shadows will be on the left. You can draw lines from the light-source to the object to help visualize where they should be.
Look at objects in your everyday life and just try to observe what the shadows are doing. Drawing the things around you is a fun way to practice, too. 🙂
You have done well with these. Nice work!
I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot of things! The best thing I learned was to really have fun with drawing again and to enjoy the process. Here are some examples of the drawings ... Show moreI really liked to do. My take on the Castle, Flying Saucer, Cool Koalas, and the One Point Perspective Room. I love to add extra details and invent small stories inside the pictures. I think that I will remake some of the images with pen and ink and add colors.
Hello Jan-Olaf!
We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the course! All the little details you've added created a lot of extra fun and joy to the drawings.
If you wish to keep working on the castle drawing, there are some small changes you could make to the perspective on the towers.
To find the angle for the curved lines you would draw the tower as if it was a square-shaped tower first, using the perspective lines in the same way you did for the rest of the castle.
After that you draw a circle that fits inside the square formed by the perspective lines. From here you can use that circle as a guide for the rest of the curves.
You have done an excellent job with all of these and have applied every technique that you learned very well. Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to share a couple of the pieces I’ve followed along with, I haven’t taken too much creative liberty yet because I’m trying to get better at the basics. I like to think I’...

Hey Ayiana!
Thank you very much for sharing your sketches with us! You did a really good job especially with your perspective and your values, well done! Getting back to the basics is indeed the best and fastest way to improve the way you look at things in order to replicate them on paper. I wish you luck in your improvement journey!
Don't hesitate to ask if you ever have a question or need advice, and I wish you a great week!
Hi recently I finished this drawing and I would like to get some feedback to improve my illustration.
Hi!
Thank you for sending in your painting! This is incredible work. The subject is beautiful and your use of color is mind-blowing!
You could maybe try to have the hair on the chin flow in more various and natural directions. Even with the head clearly in motion within the scene and the hair following in the same direction, I think there could be a little more variation.
You can check out the attachments for a more visual explanation! I hope you’ll find them helpful! Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions and I wish you a beautiful day!
Some of my preferred drawings from this great course. Thank you in advance for your feedback!! Greetings from Spain
Hi Pilar!
These are very excellent drawings! Your lines are very neat and tidy, you have a great range of light and dark, your stroke patterns while shading and general shape of each shadow are excellent and your shapes/volumes are solid. All around you've done a spot on job with these course activities.Congratulations!
Keep up the excellent work! I hope to see more from you in the future. :)
Hello, First of thank you Mark and 21draw for the great course. I’m learning and having fun! Could i get some feedback on my lettering? I’m struggling with the letter I. Something is ... Show moreoff with it, i can’t get the 3D shape correctly.
Hey Nadia,
I’m glad that you’re having fun with the course. Don’t worry, the three-dimensional drawings are typically the most complicated. I think the issue that you’re having here is that the initial block you drew is more of a cuboid than a cube. The starting cube will influence the final look of the drawing.
In your drawing, I’m noticing that your block needs to be slightly taller to make it a cube. Once you have a good starting point, you can use grids to influence the proportions of your I. If you keep the spacing between each guideline the same, you will get a uniform looking I, and if you use varying spacing, you will get a dynamic looking I.
I made a short GIF to illustrate the step by step. Check it out below.
I hope this helps and all the best with the rest of the course!
My try at 2.1. I really will have to practice shading, especially the hatching because I'm trying to go back to what I was used to before for my shading. I also what to make the shading smoo... Show morether, because I feel it is a bit abrupt sometimes at the moment...
Hey there Kim,
Nice spheres! I think you did a really good job with the shading. Remember that there are many ways you can shade an object and hatching is just a stylized form of shading.
If you want smoother shading, my tip would be to make your darkest areas darker. By doing this, you are widening the range of values that you can work with. With a wider range of values, every change will feel a little less abrupt and you will be able to achieve a more gradual looking shadow!
You can look at my example below.
I hope that helps and enjoy the rest of the course!

Youtube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials than any individual is capable of watching on improving your art skills.

The classes in our bundle are approachable for absolute beginners and has advanced techniques for those with more experience.
If you have no art experience whatsover or struggle to draw a basic character, I strongly recommend taking my classes.

We started 21 Draw in Sweden in 2013 with the goal of helping everyone become a better artist!
We’re called 21 Draw because when we started we only had a budget to hire 21 artists. However, a huge number of the artists were so enthusiastic about getting involved, so we couldn’t resist adding more, and creating even more products, everything from books to online courses.
Our goal is to work alongside the world’s best artists to help our community and you reach your artistic goals. We want to make amazing art education affordable for everyone.
