Secrets of Figure Drawing with Cesar Santos
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:
Sitting down and doing amazing drawings that others will marvel at
Having the confidence that you can draw stunning, lifelike masterpieces
Knowing that all of your artwork will be better once your drawings improve
No more frustrating trial and error
Quite simply, every second that you put
your magic pencil
to work, you create something
so lifelike and visually powerful
that time seems to stop every time you view it.
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.
Cesar can’t give you a magic pencil, but here’s what he CAN do:
He can show you the powerful system he’s developed to teach you to create amazing, transcendent drawings. You’ve probably never seen anything like this.
He can show you a unique step-by-step approach to creating beautiful figure and portrait drawings
He can remove all the guesswork from the process so you know
exactly
what to do next
He can help you find success with your art
faster
and
more easily
than you would believe
How do we know?
We’ve seen his teaching method live and in action!
In fact, Cesar’s last video,
Secrets of Portrait Painting,
broke all previous sales records and continues to be our best seller.
Some comments about Cesar’s teaching style:
“This is an amazing class. So glad I bought it.”
— Rebecca Noelle (Facebook)
“Fantastic artist and equally fantastic DVD!”
— Karen Neary (Facebook)
So Who Is Cesar Santos, and
Why Are We So Sure He Can Help YOU?
Cesar Santos was just a young boy when his family fled the desolation of early ’90s Cuba in search of a better life in the United States.
Becoming a painter was a dream most people in his situation didn’t dare to have…
And yet Cesar
defied the odds
and went on to become one of the most celebrated and respected artists in the world.
Today his work is on display in prestigious galleries and museums around the globe, from New York to Beijing — and just about everywhere in between.
He’s won far too many awards to list here, and he’s been featured in such prestigious art publications as
American Art Collector
,
American Arts Quarterly
,
Fine Art Connoisseur
, and many more.
His work has been shown at the world’s largest art show, Art Basel, and he is one of the few contemporary realists to bridge the contemporary and the traditional art worlds.
His style?
A rare and wonderful combination of
Old Master realist
techniques fused with a vivid
contemporary expressionist
approach —
and collectors love it
.
In his own words:
My artistic energy drives me to capture the people of my time. I am fascinated with the way our daily activities establish identity in a specific way…
I seek to establish a relationship between the subject and their place in contemporary society. My ultimate interest is in the unnoticeable, yet irreplaceable, people in my community.
Cesar is one of the preeminent authorities on figure drawing today.
He’s a true master in every sense of the word.
And his figure drawing technique is unlike anything you’ve ever come across.
Cesar Has a
Secret Technique
…
You see, Cesar has developed a very specific method that combines
left-brain logic
with
right-brain creativity
.
This allows you to SEE the structure and forms of your model and then take a step-by-step approach to drawing what you see…
…and at the same time, it allows you to tap into the non-logical part of your brain to finish the drawing in a wonderfully expressive way.
Sound like magic?
Maybe.
Until you try it…
And then you’re hooked!
Suddenly you won’t be able to stop drawing figure studies.
When you use Cesar’s secret technique, everything begins to FLOW, and it’s only when you stop to show someone else and you see the astonished look on their face that you realize just how far you’ve come as an artist…
Want to Know Cesar’s Three-Step Process
For Creating Figure Drawings?
There is no room to show you here, but once you master these three steps, your drawings will take on a whole new level of quality.
Cesar recorded every step of this masters’ approach to figure drawing during a very special “closed door” session in our studios…
What we came away with was over
17 hours of rock-solid, master-level training on four discs
.
YES, we said 17 hours. And you don’t have to move to Florence and spend thousands learning there. Cesar has distilled the most important elements he discovered, eliminating all the unnecessary steps and sharing his most intimate secrets…
Well … at least those that relate to drawing!
