We went back to how artists really trained in 19th-century Paris (the history, not the myths) and kept the parts that work. The result is one structured course that takes you from copying-and-hoping to actually understanding how drawing works.
Taught by Jake Taplin (@JakeDontDraw · 500K+ on YouTube) and Ramon Hurtado (taught at DreamWorks, Riot Games, Émile Cohl Atelier).

Anyone can learn to draw, just like we all learn how to write. The artists we admire were once students too. They learned through practical exercises, simple materials, and the freedom to experiment. Enjoying the work was part of the education.
We believe drawing can become a natural way to express your ideas. Halftone Studio brings that approach into the present, with clear teaching and plenty of room to play.

“Jake and Ramon’s teaching has been so instrumental in my art education as a “self-taught” artist. The skill they’ve helped me develop has opened new doors for me, whether it’s the ability to satisfy commissions or even compete in art competitions. Art has become my passion, and I honestly don’t believe I would have came to such a heading without them.”
Artist and creator of JakeDontDraw. Jake shares the practical lessons and art history behind learning to draw.
