An emphasis is placed on continued practice and avoiding the trap of believing in \"talent\". Drawing is a skill that anyone can learn and develop and knowledge and practice is key to continued improvement.<\/p>\n<h2>What We've Covered<\/h2>\n<p>This course has provided an overview of the core concepts to drawing - including the basic fundamentals of creating with various mediums - including graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, pen and ink, pastels, and oil pastels.<\/p>\n<p>We have also covered basic drawing concepts including color theory, linear perspective, portrait drawing, landscape drawing, and figure drawing.<\/p>\n<h2>What's Next<\/h2>\n<p>The next step is to continue to practice in your own drawings. Apply what you've learned and continue to create with confidence. Consider exploring a medium that you enjoy with an additional class or course. Dive deeper into each of the concepts that we've covered and allow your personal mark making style to gradually improve.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  <input name=\"tabs\" type=\"radio\" id=\"tab-2\"
