Sound familiar?

You love realistic drawings. You just don't know where to start.

Maybe you have filled pages with sketches that never looked quite right. Maybe you have saved hundreds of tutorials and still freeze at the first line. You are not alone, and you are not the problem.

  1. 01

    Jumping between random YouTube tutorials that never connect into real progress.

  2. 02

    Proportions that look off, with no idea where it went wrong or how to fix it.

  3. 03

    Shading that turns flat, muddy and grey instead of deep and realistic.

  4. 04

    Believing realistic drawing is only for people born with talent.

None of this means you can't draw. It means nobody has shown you a clear path yet.

Hi, I'm Fabio Arruda.

@fabiodesenhando

Drawing has been my passion since I was three. Today, I share my knowledge and creative process with a large online audience, and this course brings everything I have learned into one structured path.

  1. Age 3

    My first drawings, then years of anime, manga and comic characters.

  2. 2018

    I discovered graphite realism and set out to master it.

  3. 2019

    I started drawing every day. Thousands of hours later, I still do.

  4. Today

    I teach the techniques I refined, so you don't have to figure them out alone.
