Hello, everyone, and welcome to conscious drawing techniques. My name is Chris Fox, and I'm really excited that you have decided to join me on this drawing journey. I know for a lot of people, it is a big step to take that leap into exploring your own creative process. And it's something that we often procrastinate about for a long time. So I'm really glad that you have decided to take the leap and begin that process for yourself. And I'm here to support you throughout the entire way.

So conscious drawing techniques is about exploring your inner creativity. It's about learning to connect with yourself through drawing and through the creative process. It's about expressing yourself It's also about learning to draw with confidence and committing to the process. It's about creating awareness in your creative practice, being conscious as to what and why you are creating. And it's about building your drawing skills while enhancing relaxation, and most importantly, enjoying yourself. So the conscious drawing techniques course is designed for beginners.

It is designed for those who want to explore their creative side, but they don't have any prior training or knowledge on how to do technical drawing skills, and we're going to learn those skills. It's for those who want to improve their drawing skills and create more mindfulness in their drawing practice. So the course includes video lectures, where I will be talking to you face to face as I am now. It also has a lot of exercises with some comprehensive downloadable instructions for you. To follow along with, and we will be covering different points of information. So the main six topics or they could also be thought to be divided into six different lessons.

And the first one is going to be called drawing with the wholesale using your eyes in a new way, shadow and light dimensional drawings, exploring different mediums and intentional drawings. Now these costs can be completed entirely at your own pace. I encourage you to feel into when it is right for you to do this practice. So there is some guidelines that I can give but it's really all about you. So it's about you setting your own intentions, setting clear guidelines for yourself and following through with those often when we set a clear guideline, and then we follow through with that that process in itself helps us to To build our own confidence because we're committing to ourselves. The materials that you will need for this course are going to vary depending on what types of mediums you would like to explore throughout your drawing process.

However, to get you started, all you need is paper pencil sharpener, an eraser, and a ruler. Now, an a three or an A for visual diary is always a fantastic idea. Cartridge paper is the best to work on for drawing because it has a lot of flexibility with the different mediums that we're going to explore. However, if you don't have access to cartridge paper, then any paper will be fine. Again, sometimes we feel like we need to go out and buy all of these expensive materials so that we have the perfect scenario that we can do our drawings in and that's not always necessary. So whatever you have available to you is exactly what you need to do this process.

So remember, stay committed to the process. Most importantly enjoy yourself and if you have any questions along the way, please let me know as I am here to support you and your journey.
