Drawing has been my lifelong passion. After studying at Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles, I continued to study numerous formsof drawing including the timeless traditions of the old masters as well as cutting-edge contemporary practices.
I have been teaching drawing for over20 years at studios, museums, galleries, and schools and have developed numerous bestselling online figure drawing courses taught to an international student base.
In 2017 I was honored as one of Udemy's Best New Instructors.
I'm thrilled to bring you a lifetime of drawing and teaching experience to this unique program. I look forward to working with you. Cheers!

Excellent course for the beginner and intermediate artist: short and to the point. I wish it was more elaborate for advanced students, with examples for the figure, and landscapes.

By Jarell Peets on 9/4/2020

Extremely crucial to have this training in one's back pocket before attempting figure drawings. Thanks again, Brent.

Basic knowledge but wonderful review in a well portioned format. I really enjoyed it and will look into some of the other weeks indicated in the course work.

By Michelle Kim on 8/3/2020

This course really helped me see and understand how to efficiently create a sense of volume on the page. And it made the often intimidating task of foreshortening a breeze!

it is so good to have a teacher that tells you & demonstrates these essential techniques in such a clear and simple manner, i just took the module for the 2nd time and I started feeling a little bit like an artist already

One of my favorite art teachers at Udemy. My drawing has improved considerably after taking Brent's courses.

five stars for the best, I draw over 60 years and have learned an incredible amount here, progress in every area and in a pleasant way
many thanks and greetings from very shortly before the bavarian mountains

By Mximo Xavier Gomes on 4/14/2020

I have my doubts about his skills in drawing the objects. Nobody can draw so perfectly. He is obviously using something like rotoscope. Anyway the classes are awesome.

By Eric Cortez on 7/18/2020

Very well explained as always. Contour lines are a very powerful tool to bring volumetric drawing to a whole new level and Brent demonstrate it flawlessly. This is my third course and I've learned and improved so much.
