YOU CAN LEARN TO DRAW ANYTHING

Welcome to the Drawing Laboratory

The Drawing Labratory is my latest series of online drawing courses. The path to the Drawing Laboratory began 25 years ago when I started my search for the most effective ways to teach drawing. After years of testing both traditional drawing methods as well as methods of my own design I created my first online courses: The Art & Science of Drawing series. The award winning, best selling Art & Science of Drawing series enrolled more than half a million students in more than 180 countries. Since its release nearly a decade ago, I have learned so much more about drawing, teaching and engaging people online. The Drawing Laboratory takes everything I have learned to create my most immersive and in depth drawing experience yet. 

Welcome to the Drawing Laboratory where you’ll learn to draw anything and love the process.

“Brent is an excellent teacher with such a huge knowledge and understanding of students, it's amazing. I completed the first series of the Art and Science of drawing and learnt a lot. It gave me so much confidence. Now with his new course he goes deeper into how to draw. I absolutely love his teachings. Just when I thought I learnt a lot in his first series, he proved there's always more to learn.”

"I'm a fan of Mr Eviston's classes and this is yet another fantastic course of his. Similar to the Art & Science series but goes even deeper. Highly recommended."

What Makes the Drawing Lab Unique?

The original Art & Science of Drawing series is a concise guide to the basics of drawing. The Drawing Laboratory is a much more comprehensive guide to drawing that teaches new tools and techniques, offers new insights, and includes more detailed demonstrations. I have also improved the production values and tried to create something that will stand the test of time.
