What do you need to start drawing and learn art and illustration? Just paper and pencil. We're not going to get to fancy in this first class. We will start with the very basics about how everything we are going to draw is made up of simple shapes. 2D shapes like squares, circles and triangles and also 3d shapes like spheres, cylinders, cubes and cones.

My favorite thing is how this is aimed at children because that's literally my skill level right now
-
Ok so, I'm 17 years old, I've always wanted to draw, but it always seemed like one of those things that seem really abstract and descriptivist, and my learning style is very prescriptive, so I figured that there's basically no way for me to learn how to draw. But today I decided to learn how to draw, and I have to say that Brad has done a phenomenal job. I'll definitely be following the second episode, wanting to learn more.

As a 33 year old trying to learn to draw, I love this. Thank you!
-
This isn't just a drawing tutorial, this is quality entertainment
-
Thank you. I can't imagine the amount of effort and time you put into this video
-
Interested to see where this goes
-
This isn't a drawing lesson. It's a complete perfect animation cartoon movie. I'm loving every second of it.

As someone in her early 30s who attempted to draw at the (impatient) age of 13 but gave up, I'm so glad I found your channel! This is literally the instruction younger and current me needed but didn't have access to. With just your explanation on how shapes make up everything, I can look back at art pieces I like and visually see those shapes. Officially subscribed with notifications turned on. My goal of one day illustrating my own stories is officially in reach!

this is a dream class.

For anyone wondering if these basic lessons are beneficial, they really are. Studied architecture at college. Our drafting class started with these very basic shapes before we were given assignments to draw entire houses. Mastering those fundamentals are absolutely critical. Great job Brad, I’d love to see these go very far. Wishing for the best bro!

Please keep these coming!! The way you teach really works for me. I’m 42 and have always had the mindset that I could never draw. You’ve changed that and have opened my eyes to a lot more than just drawing.
-
This is brilliant. I am almost 40 and have just embarked on the path of learning to draw. I’ve seen some tutorials before yours, but yours has given me the most important basics to truly start drawing well...I’ll stay with your teaching ways😁 Thank you!

Story telling, visual lessons, hands on activity! This is great!!! Thank you for taking the time to create something unique & benificial!

This is absolutely fantastic, being 23 and wanting to get into art having no clue where to start this helps alot!
-
I love how he put humor in the vid and didn’t make a boring video. This makes learning so fun
-
"I still don't like him..." That cracked me up!! Awesome start to a series that I know is going to be fun. Thanks!
-
This is super cool Brad! I wish you the best of luck! This will help a lot of young artists! Its super engaging and fun to watch ❤️ 👏👏👏

This type of tutorial format really engages me even though I'm a 20 years old college student. I hope you release more episodes so I can learn more about how to draw :)

The change from cartoon to live-action examples is deeply nostalgic. This is so helpful and definitely the most charming drawing resource I've every seen. Thank you.
