8 weeks of practice with Azat Nurgaleev: every participant makes at least 8 finished portraits — from simple to complex, from anatomy to color

Nobody draws well straight away. Behind me are years of study and thousands of hours drawing the human figure, and the main thing I have understood is this: drawing rests on practice, not on talent. What you do at the page every day counts for more than any gift.
And the road is shorter when other people are next to you. That is how Skills Up, the joint projects, the contests and the festivals came about.
“Azat and drawings” carries the same idea further. Not a storeroom of materials but a daily environment: the weekly assignment, a feed where other work sits next to yours, the Sunday review and a chance that I single yours out. Draw every day — and not on your own.
Painting, drawing, illustration, digital — work from different years and techniques. The subject throughout is the human being.
A little each day: a warm-up, a quick sketch, the weekly task and other artists’ work. Everyone earns warm-up bonuses; paid tiers earn more. Your XP and streak are kept.
One reference and a timer: one, two or five minutes.
DrawingOne reference. A few minutes. Your drawing.
The same circle every week: assignment, practice, submissions, review. Everything here rests on it.
Monday · The assignment. I post the week’s subject: the motif, a reference and a lesson from the archive.
The construction of the skull, how the head sits, the features of the face and a long portrait. From the first proportions to a head that stands in space and looks like a particular person.
Every day, five short questions from Azat: light and colour, anatomy, composition, bits of art history, Procreate tricks. A couple of minutes — and after each answer, an explanation of what’s what.
The warm-up is free for everyone.
