If you are like me, a kid that is willing to break a toy just to see how it is made and what functions it holds under the surface, you are in the right place. Our visual system is incredibly wide, and it cannot be explained by a single function. For example, there are physical laws how light and matter behaves, and that alone is pretty big area to chew on. To make things more complicated, we measure it with our eyes and that has its own limitations on what information we are able to gather. Finally we process that information in our brains and after that the final image is formed to us.

But then to the positive side, most of these complications can be simplified and explored in drawing or painting. And what is even better, we get to choose which of them we want to apply in the process. We don`t need to use all of them.

With this project, the goal is to share with you the exciting and specific knowledge in forms of articles. With the articles I also include sources so you are free to continue studies of your own with the fields that you find more interesting.

Secondly, I will share some of my own opinions with a blog, where I generally focus more on the things I find interesting with my process of drawing, that support my videos on my Youtube channel.

And last, but not least, I Included a Tips n Tricks section, where I will share simplifications on how to draw. The pace that I write and publish unfortunetly might not be fast in the beginning, but I hope it will hold more value on the content.

I have made a video tutorial on portrait drawing, it is a 5 lesson course that teaches practical simplifications based on the science of visual art and what I feel holds the biggest value in drawing. You can purchase it here .
