Do You Want to Know the REAL Secret to Creating Amazing Figure Drawings Without Spending Years of Your Life Struggling to Learn How to Draw?
Imagine there's a magic pencil and every time you pick up this pencil, you're able to create incredible drawings like this one — drawings will leave your viewers speechless.
Imagine:
Sadly, we all know there is no such thing as a magic pencil
BUT
If you want to learn how to create drawings like the one above, then what we're about to share with you is the next best thing
You see, there's a master artist who has some of the finest drawing skills in the world. His drawings are highly collectable.
In fact, one of the top realism collectors in the world purchased one of this artist's sketch pads because he knows it could become a national treasure.
You see, this artist you are about to meet was trained in Florence, Italy, at a very special school that few people in the world ever get to attend. It was there that he discovered these special techniques so few artists possess.
His name is Cesar Santos, and he's one of the world's greatest when it comes to drawing the human figure. And when we saw his sketchbooks, we begged him to create a historic documentation of his entire step-by-step process on video.
But we did not want just another drawing video. We wanted a full course that gives you the depth of training that will allow you to create masterful drawings with the skills he teaches you.
Cesar spent weeks preparing for this special video, and created dozens of in-depth drawings, starting with a skeletal drawing, then adding layers of muscles, and then the skin and the textures. He really did his homework to deliver an absolutely top-notch drawing course that will improve your lifetime body of work.

With this exclusive video training, you will:
In this 16-plus-hour video course you can paint along with Cesar. It's the next best thing to actually being in the same room. Actually even better, because the camera can zoom in on details you probably couldn't see from your seat.
So what will you discover in this "in-depth training"?
Let's take a look, shall we?
The vital reason you need to be more precise when figure painting compared to painting nature
How to stop your viewers from focusing on a part of your painting you don't want them focusing on
What you can learn from the Russians to take your work to the next level
One of the biggest problems in contemporary art (when you know this, your skill set should improve greatly)
A simple way to keep the arm muscles in your painting — specifically the biceps — looking in proportion
Why you're in awe of the "color harmony" you see in museum paintings (and how you can create this same feeling of awe in other people when they see your paintings)
How to create an "underpainting" that lets you fully enjoy working on the upper layers
Important life advice Cesar was given by his mentors that helped him become a better painter
What you need to be thinking about when filling in an area with color (many painters don't think about this which is most unfortunate for them)
Question: When is NOT a good time to use oil?
How to look at — and interpret — a photo in exactly the same way you would a live model. (Warning: Unless you take a photo from this particular angle, your model's torso, head, and legs might appear distorted.)
Why Cesar selects four different sizes of brush and what they are. You'll be surprised.
The special chemicals Cesar uses with his paints and their benefits
Two colors you should mix to create a "fleshy" color. (You can experiment with various combinations in the future, but right now, Cesar recommends sticking with this mix.) This alone may be worth the entire price of this course.
Why (and when) you should keep the paint lighter than it needs to be
Why knowing all about color theory can be a good thing (but why it's not a necessity)
How to increase the "gesture" of a body leaning a certain way
Why you shouldn't "chase trends" in your artwork (and what you should do instead)
The benefits of mixing ivory black and Indian red

An interesting thing you can learn from a hairdresser about improving certain aspects of your painting
The specific painting tools Cesar loves to use and exactly why
How to make something look like it's in front of another object to capture a "3D" feel
