This free how to draw tutorials round-up post is the most popular post on the blog. I believe this is because art is one of those subjects that seems to intimidate a lot of homeschool moms. Or they simply feel inadequate to teach art. A hands-on art class is a fantastic tool, but if you can’t afford it or fit it into your schedule, the internet can certainly help.
One recommendation before jumping into the free tutorials. If you haven’t heard about See The Light art DVDs, those are a fantastic resource as well. I reviewed one of the classes previously, so you can read my review of the Pointillism class to get a better idea of what they are.
This post will be part of a series that I will put together over time. This post will focus on DRAWING tutorials. Look for more art tutorial round-ups soon. Currently in the works are more drawing tutorial round-ups, painting, and great YouTube channels to help your student grow in their artistic skill.
