Hey Beginners, I get it. In the past or with other courses you faced obstacles that no one seemed to truly understand. Instructors always seem to perform art by absolute magic, completely failing to provide the psychological bridges you need to cross over and solve the recurring roadblocks you keep facing.
With this course, you will finally eliminate these problems, and more. Not all at once, but step by step, you can eliminate your doubts, fears, and confusion, using the FORCE Method to become a confident professional artist.
I invented the Force Drawing Approach because of what I experienced during my time at Disney Feature Animation. While surrounded by amazing artists and watching them work, I saw what was missing from my training at art school.
They had exciting and profound methods to solve visual problems that my teachers didnât know about.
So when I returned to teach at these schools, I immediately started work on bringing this real world knowledge to the students.
Iâm an artist, educator, and the author of the FORCE drawing book series. For over 25 years, Iâve been passionate about helping artists bring their drawings to life through the principles of Force - a method I developed to capture the energy, rhythm, and storytelling behind every pose. My approach isnât about copying what you see, but about understanding why a pose exists and how to express it with power and clarity.
Throughout my career, Iâve had the opportunity to teach at some of the worldâs top art institutions like ArtCenter College of Design, CalArts, and the School of Visual Arts, and Iâve worked with amazing companies including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, DreamWorks, and Nickelodeon. These experiences have shaped the way I teach and draw, always focusing on the artistâs ability to see and feel the Force in every subject.
Drawing is about more than just anatomy or structure, itâs about telling a story with every line. Whether itâs through my books, online courses, or live workshops, my goal has always been the same: to guide artists toward creating more dynamic, expressive, and emotionally resonant work.Â
It's interesting watching Mike explain this, show it, and talk about it. I'm a self-taught artist and I could never figure out how to make the Force strokes. This is great!
The way you've broken down and connected the concepts in these initial modules really resonates with me. I'm truly enjoying this return to the fundamentals.
I really appreciate the methodical breakdown of this process and learning to apply the soft touch approach to developing the Force line.
With Force Gesture Drawing, I will show you how to use all the tricks that I learned as a Disney Animation Artist, Video Game Production Artist and much more- how to use line language to draw figures with: weight, balance, tension, and even the mechanics of anatomy, all in one quick sketch. âď¸
See all these ideas come together to materialize a drawing!
And just as important, how to create drawings that express all of this in minutes, not hours. âď¸
