Learn to make drawings/sketches with pencil and graphite (9H to 12B).

Each session will allow you to discover and practice a specific technique. Between two sessions, targeted exercises will allow you to progress in a measurable way, in small steps.

In drawing, there are no miracles: it is practice, training, perseverance, which are the sources of progress.

All materials will be provided to you (pencils, papers).

During the first session, a series of examples of my creations will offer you a concrete overview of the techniques and styles that I can help you master.
