The Drawing Breakthrough Kit breaks down the feeling of being overwhelmed when drawing from life by breaking the images down to straight, curved and elliptical lines in various lengths. Picking up a pencil to draw can be very intimidating for the first time artist and I find Hastings approach to be the right amount of coaxing and encouragement to get over that initial hump.

You first practice squares, circles and ellipses until you gain a level of mastery over the objects. Then by visually and literally tracing the object you get a feel for how it’s put together and how to recreate it by your own hand. The next progression to free handing the details, allowing you to begin obtaining a sense of how each element fits together. By repetition, you gain not only a level of confidence but also an understanding how lines work together to create a visual object.

Hastings’ approach of breaking it down to its basic element and take confidence in all your achievements, no matter how small they may be a realistic approach to drawing You are your own worse critic, and that seems to be magnified where the creative arts are concerned. Hastings gentle explanations help quell that inner critic and help you grasp the mechanics behind the artwork. As of this writing, this kit is only available at Amazon.com.
