Getting back into the swing of things... need course suggestions
Hi all,
I'm a former graphic designer turned teacher and I am trying to make a habit, as a midlife thing, to get back to drawing consistently. I only have one goal--to create a mural in my city of Philadelphia. Problem is, I'm pretty rusty. Honestly, I was never very good at anything but realist art. I have some pretty solid charcoal drawings from my college days--and I have a good grasp of composition from my time as a designer, but when it came time to create a style outside of copying life, I struggled. I am looking at finding classes online to get myself moving again. I think either Proko or Schoolism seem to be the best options right now. I know a lot of you all have suggested the Drawing Fundamentals taught there, but after perusing a lot of the lessons, I think I have a decent grasp on most of what is taught. I can still draw from life pretty well. What do you all suggest for the intermediate artist--someone looking to grasp strong figure drawing from the mind, or cross-hathching, or environments?
