Liron Yanconsky
I am a self-published author, art teacher and graphic designer based in Israel.
Being self-taught, I have been drawing ever since I was born. I have constantly worked on polishing my skills in art, and specifically in drawing.
As I enjoy writing as well, I have published 7 books so far, on a wide array of topics such as perspective drawing, folds and clothes, sketching techniques and drawing for kids.
My biggest strength is topics that require strong understanding and great visual perception.
My biggest goal is to prove that ANYONE can learn how to draw. My passions are art, writing, traveling and self-development.
I hope I can help you reach your goals, and perhaps learn something new in the process.

I love this course. Liron explained everything in a wonderful and simple way. Thank you very much.

It's a good course for beginners. I'm a beginner and have never sketched anything. I loved the carrot method of sketching people. Married with the section on 'people in perspective', this gives me an easy way of adding people to my beginner sketches.

knowlegeable on topic
By Deloris Duncan on 8/22/2020
Great Information! This course, though is not a beginners course. If I did not have some experience in drawing, I would be lost as the instructor went very fast and did not really tell how he drew the people, but showed how by drawing them very fast. He also spoke very fast.

Great and thanks so much, but a little fast at times.

This was a fun course.

This course really helped me to get things started (and going). Thanks Liron!
By Don Thompson on 7/26/2020
This is a fantastic class! I especially liked the "figures in perspective" section. Definitely, follow Liron on YouTube as well. His watercolor lessons are a great learning tool. I have seen him really develop as an artist over the last 18 months. Good job!
