Drawing, online courses I recommend
Marshall Vandruff
Marshall Vandruff is the undisputed master of Perspective with a capital P, and he’s funny too!
Perspective and funny are two words you rarely see in one sentence.
Here is his homepageSome years back I had worked through his perspective course.
1994 Perspective Drawing SeriesThis course is a series of video taped lectures in which Marshall demonstrates with chalk and blackboard how to draw in perspective.
It costs quite literally a few bucks. Get it and draw along with at least the first two or three (there are 12 in total). Guaranteed, it will change your drawing life!
In 2025, as I refresh my figure drawing skills, which means going back to basics, I came across his Bridgman Drawing Bootcamp, and after testing the water a little decided to plunge in.
Bridgman Drawing BootcampDepending how I go with the Bridgman and other figure courses below I may come back in a sense and do the "all the modern bells and whistles" version he released a couple of years back with the 3D modelling, animation and general production skills of Proko added. It looks great!
The Perspective CourseStan Prokopenko
Talented, hard working and entrepeneurial Stan Prokopenko has built a huge online art education eco-system. Kids today never had it so easy due to the hard work of Mr. Prokopenko and the like.
This is definetely on my to-do list, recommended as it was by none less than Mr. Vandruff.
