John Baselmans Drawing Course

In this book the courses are different from those in regular books. The reason for this is that I believe everybody can draw and can place lines on paper. The problem is that most people are afraid of making mistakes, but what is a mistake? Something that someone else tells you is wrong? Or something, someone else doesn't like. In the past, I went to different schools and saw that there was not so much to learn. I knew already what to do and found out that children initially are not afraid of showing their masterpieces. The drawing was what they had in their minds at the time and transferred to paper. So I thought 'I can do that too' and started to draw. The outcome was not always perfect drawings, so I kept drawing day and night. Practice makes perfect. You do not need to be perfect or draw like others. You have to draw like YOU, your inner self. Create from your heart and soul and the rest will come from your inner self.
