Basic – (Sample Works)
These sample artworks demonstrate how Basic-level students explore drawing people through structured observation, facial expressions, and character features. Learners begin with guided sketches to understand head proportions, facial placement, and expressions, then apply coloring techniques to bring characters to life. Through this process, students develop confidence in drawing human figures, organizing compositions, and expressing emotion and storytelling using color, form, and detail.
