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.
Â
They had exciting and profound methods to solve visual problems that my teachers didn’t know about. So when I returned to teach at these schools, I immediately started work on bringing this real world knowledge to the students.
I’m an artist, educator, and the author of the FORCE drawing book series. For over 25 years, I’ve 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 isn’t about copying what you see, but about understanding why a pose exists and how to express it with power and clarity.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to teach at some of the world’s top art institutions. These experiences have shaped the way I teach and draw, always focusing on the artist’s ability to see and feel the Force in every subject.
Drawing is about more than just anatomy or structure—it’s about telling a story with every line. Whether it’s 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. ✏️
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. ✏️
Eliminates all mysteries when drawing powerful gestures, so you can focus on making great figures from reference or imagination.
Discover how to create fluid, natural movement using direct strokes with pencil or brush on paper and canvas.
Build figures that contain FORCE and Form, and stand in 3D space by applying hands-on techniques with pencil or brush on traditional surfaces.
Learn to convey energy and motion through bold, intentional marks on paper and canvas.
The bundle consists of 22 modules that are made up of over 150 video lessons for a total of 15+ hours of content. You can pause and replay the videos as much as you want. It would be best to take the course in order, because it will start from the basics to lessons at a more advanced level.
Practice makes perfect!
Materials, mindset, and the essential knowledge needed to begin your FORCE journey with confidence.
Master the core principle of FORCE drawing: the line that captures energy, rhythm, and intent in a single stroke.
Understand how gravity pulls on the body and how angles create structure, clarity, and grounded drawings.
Build dynamic, grounded figures using iteration, hierarchy, and confident line control guided by gravity.
Learn how directional flow and the leading edge drive momentum, giving your figures clarity and purpose.
Develop fluid, natural movement through curves and rhythm, making the body flow from one form into the next.
Construct the human torso using clear, repeatable templates across front, back, and profile views.
A step-by-step method to build the torso with speed and accuracy, refined through rapid-fire demos.
Break down leg anatomy into functional templates, exploring key views, structure, and movement dynamics.
Simplify arm anatomy with intent, applying FORCE principles to capture form, flow, and articulation.
Understand how the head connects to the body, how FORCE travels through the neck, and how to draw expressive heads in any pose.
Bring all FORCE principles together in a rapid, unified drawing process: building full figures with speed and clarity.
Put everything into practice with a dynamic subject: skating figures. Use FORCE, rhythm, gravity, and anatomy all at once to capture explosive movement on the page.
A clear overview of what lies ahead: how this course builds on FORCE fundamentals and takes your figure drawing into three-dimensional space.
Understand what growth actually looks like: how to measure progress, stay motivated, and approach the learning process with honesty and patience.
Learn the essential perspective rules that let you place figures convincingly in space: horizon lines, vanishing points, and how the eye level affects your figures.
Build the body from simple 3D forms: boxes, cylinders, and spheres. Thinking in primitives is the foundation for constructing figures that feel solid and believable.
Use FORCE-based surface lines and cross-contours to show volume, motion, and weight, making the figure feel wrapped in space rather than drawn on a flat page.
Develop spatial awareness: understand directions in space, how forms rotate and foreshorten, and how to orient the body confidently in any position or angle.
Learn to move mass through the body: how forms twist, bend, and compress along the FORCE line, creating figures that feel dynamic, grounded, and alive.
Bring together everything covered in the course: FORCE, perspective, primitives, and surface. A unified framework for building intention into every drawing.
Apply the full FORCE 3D approach to gesture drawing: turning flat sketches into powerful, spatially aware figures drawn with energy, structure, and clarity.
We will look together at the materials, basic techniques, and knowledge needed to begin this journey. Approaching a new technique means first learning how best to use the tools at your disposal.
Theory is important, but what makes you a true artist is practice... Lots of practice! You'll find lots of exercises to get started with and from which to get inspiration. I will show you some tricks that will make your drawings truly unique and masterpieces.Â
Once you register for the course, you will have lifetime access and you can watch it whenever you want! This will enable you to better learn even the most difficult notions. You don't have a deadline, you can take the course even for 5 minutes a day! This possibility, doesn't it seem incredible?
This is one of the course's strengths: being able to watch the videos wherever you want, whenever you want, and as many times as you want. The course is available from any device so you can watch the course from the comfort of your home or take a single lesson on the train!
As soon as you sign up for the course, you will join a group of people who, like you, share this passion and are following the same course as you. This means you'll be able to exchange ideas, tips or ask questions because you'll be surrounded by people who love art the same way you do!
On this journey, you will never be alone! You can write to me and you will receive my feedback as soon as possible, so you will always feel supported. Sometimes, approaching drawing is not easy. You may feel that you are not enough, but don't worry: I will be there to help you, step by step!
In this video, I want to show you what the courses and its lessons look like. I recommend watching the sessions in order, as the courses offers a sequential and logical learning path. Remember that you can always go back and watch the lessons as often as needed.
All videos are in FULL HD, and you can adjust the speed, sound, and quality.
Doesn't that sound amazing?
