Through a series of engaging exercises, teens will learn to sketch objects and figures freehand, improving their ability to capture realistic proportions and details without preliminary sketches. By the end of the course, students will see significant improvement in their drawing skills, developing a deeper understanding of how to approach any subject, from everyday objects to the human figure, with a fresh, intuitive perspective.
