See the World Like an Artist
Module 1 — Looking
In this module you learn to slow down and observe. Simple steps, clear focus.
Note: In the videos I mention the date July 29. This course is now self-paced — you don’t need to follow that date. Just watch the videos and do the exercises in your own time.
Lesson 1 — Observe
We start with basic observation. Look at shapes, edges, and simple forms.
Exercise:
Choose one small object at home. Look for 2 minutes. Draw its simple shape without details.
Lesson 2 — Edges & Negative Space
Notice the space around the object. It helps you see the true outline.
Exercise: Draw only the negative space around your object. Keep it simple and bold.
Lesson 3 — Light Glance
Learn to “squint” with your eyes. You will see big light and dark shapes first.
Exercise: Make a quick value sketch (3 tones only: light, mid, dark) of your object.
