"My students would always ask me how to draw a real person because they felt like they could only make cartoony or stick people. With the help of The School of Atelier Arts, I was able to give them the tools to draw more realistically and save them from the frustration of not being able to create what they envisioned in their mind."
- CAITLIN BLUDGUS, ELEMENTARY ART TEACHER -
Let's face it - there's nothing more frustrating than feeling really inspired to draw someone only to have the final drawing come out er... not so great. And there's nothing more disheartening than starting a drawing, and then getting stuck part way through, unsure what to do next.
You feel like you just might not have "it" - that magical bop from the talent fairy that would make you capable of drawing realistic people. You know that you should try learning from someone who already has these drawing skills, but how do you find them? Maybe you've even tried buying art books, taking classes or watching some online videos promising to help you draw people hoping to glean what they know.
And yet, it's not quite working.
The online videos you've seen show artists with a lot of skill, but they aren't able to articulate how they are thinking or have a clear process to follow.
Or maybe you have a massive collection of drawing books at home, hoping that one of them holds the 1 True Ultimate Figure Drawing Secret, but instead you get a hodgepodge of disjointed information from many sources that all seem to contradict each other.
Maybe you even took a drawing class in person, but figure drawing was not your teacher's strength. The instructor may have told you to "express yourself" and "do what you feel". This might have led to a lot of emotional exploration, but also left you feeling like you just can't teach how to draw people.
Others make teaching how to draw people look easy. But for you, it's been anything but. You thought that the hard part was going to be getting your teaching degree, but as it turns out, that was only just the beginning.
And now you feel like you must be missing something.
And you're not alone. Most people wanting to teach & draw realistic people are.
The truth is that being able to draw accurate people is a game changer, one that will build your confidence as an artist or teacher, allow you to create artwork you are proud of, and even impress friends, galleries, and award committees with your skills.
The problem? Confusing online videos, previous instructors without people drawing skills themselves, and conflicting book information often make learning and teaching how to draw realistic people more frustrating than it's worth.
But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?
As a licensed art teacher in a public school, my students were always asking me to help them draw "real" people.
The problem? I didn't learn those skills in my college classes. I didn't actually KNOW how to draw a realistic person. No one ever taught me. And I went to art teacher college!
Panicked, I looked everywhere for help learning how to draw realistic portraits. Eventually, I found something called Atelier Training, and it changed my life forever.
Atelier Training is a type of realistic drawing and painting training that was used to train the Old Masters, like Leonardo Da Vinci and Rembrandt. And it still exists!
I trained full time in ateliers for 5+ years to master the craft of realistic drawing and painting. I founded The School of Atelier Arts to share what I learned at ateliers with artists and educators from all over the world.
Through my expert background of teaching art combined with the highest levels of atelier training, I have developed a fool-proof method for drawing people that I know from experience will work for you too.
"My students were always intimidated to try and draw realistically. With the help of School of Atelier Arts resources I now know how to help them experience success with their drawings every time! Their confidence is through the roof!"
- NINA DIRIENZO, HIGH SCHOOL ART TEACHER -
The Yay! People Worksheets are designed to help you and your students learn a process for drawing realistic people.
The Yay! People Worksheets were originally created to help everyone draw people at the highest levels, because there is a lot of confusing (and frankly BAD) information out there. So far, students and art teachers alike are impressing themselves with the improvement in their people drawing with these worksheets.
If you always wanted to draw realistic people, or if you thought you just didn't have "it" (whatever the heck "it" is), this is an opportunity that I promise you will not want to miss.
I am extremely thankful for these resources because they offer skill-based lessons that give my students a strong foundation for their artworks"
- ELEMENTARY ART TEACHER KELSEA FISCHER-
Imagine this: You start a drawing with enthusiasm and inspiration, but then you get stuck. You don't know what to do next. You know it doesn't look right, but don't know how to fix it.
With our proven drawing process, you will never get stuck again. You will always know what to work on and in what order. And you will figure out how to find your mistakes and correct them instead of spinning your wheels.
A lot of people mistakenly believe that drawing realistic people is about drawing the anatomy just so.
The reality is that getting the big ideas right, like the shape of the entire figure, is much more likely to make your drawing look "real".'
That is why our worksheets show students how to identify and draw the big ideas first.
The difference between a cartoon-looking person and a realistic-looking person comes down to accurately capturing key relationships of the figure.
These worksheets will show your students how to identify and accurately draw key relationships. By practicing identifying key points, your students will be able to draw realistic people.
An otherwise good drawing looks just "eh" if the big gesture is not considered.
Help your students draw believable people by teaching them about gesture.
Our worksheets show your students how to find and capture accurate gestures of people in their drawings.
