With over 300 lessons in 13 modules, this is the course I always wanted to offer my students. I’ve tried to include everything I can about how to create, construct, and render beautiful figurative art.
Give or take a long demo, most lessons in this course are around 20 minutes.
1. I’ll guide you step by step in how to distill the complexity of the human body into a set of emotionally powerful creative choices
2. I’ll show you how the old masters became world class technicians while creating a completely personal style (the fact is, great artists see the world differently than regular folk, I’ll show you how)
3. In part two of the course, we’ll journey into a much deeper understanding of the construction process, the rendering process, anatomy, laws of light, tonal composition and more
This is a program for anyone from beginner to pro. And I’ve refined it over the last 5 years, with 200 + students across 5 continents.
Beginners can stay with part one of the program until their skill and confidence is where they want it before moving on to part two. Although . . .
. . . for many of my professional clients, part one has been the most transformational. They tell me it’s helped them rebuild their art practice into a healthier and more productive practice that’s re-energized their careers.
This is a course that offers enough information that you can, literally, spend the rest of your life using it to dive ever deeper into mastering your craft.
After all, it’s taken me a lifetime to compile it for you.
I take you through the basics tools of drawing well-proportioned heads at will. You’ll learn a whole host of simple intuitive techniques for creating the depth and definition that are the foundations of solid realism. (Unlike my other courses, I am featured picture-in-picture as he draws on his Cintiq pad.)
With more than 12+ hours of training on the creative and craft strategies of the old masters, you’ll get to watch over the shoulder with me as I treat you to a long form art lesson from from some of the greatest artists in the history of European and American Art.

Instead of just making a well-composed picture, how about living a well-composed life?
They taught us Art is small.
It’s anything but.
Steve created Draws From Life around the idea that Art is much closer to a spiritual tradition than to a hobby or career.
Societies train us to survive.
Yet we’re born to create.
Whether biologically or spiritually, the human race is a race of artists.
We can choose to consciously evolve.
I’ve designed my Draws From Life Courses holistically, meaning not just on one pillar, but on three.
So, do we choose to neglect our passion for more months or years?
Do we choose to let our Art stay small by settling for a one-size-fits-all, secondhand version of creativity and craft (and never mind wisdom)?
Or do you choose to step into a firsthand version of your own innately artistic, world-class, powerhouse self?
Art can be bigger. And I promise you, so can you.
