Masterclass drawing course

Kelvins drawing tutorials are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend his course for anyone looking to take their drawing skills to the next level. Before taking the course I was working solely in graphite, but after learning to combine graphite & charcoal I can now produce much better results, especially in my portraiture work for achieving a much more realistic result.

Kelvin takes you through the process in a very clear and easy to follow process, showing every step of the drawing from start to finish, and shows a full list of all the materials he uses.

A very complete course from a master artist! One I look at often for tips & inspiration, always learning something new. Money definitely well spent!!

Thank you!! 😊

Thank you so much for such a generous and thoughtful review, Mark.

I am really pleased to hear that combining graphite and charcoal has helped elevate the realism and overall quality of your portrait work. That shift in material understanding often opens up a whole new level of control and depth, so it is wonderful to know you are seeing strong results.

I am also glad the step by step structure and material guidance have been useful for your ongoing practice and inspiration. The fact that you continue to revisit the course and keep discovering new insights shows real dedication to your craft.

Thank you again for your support and kind words. Wishing you continued growth, enjoyment, and creative momentum!

I'm Reena

I'm Reena, I recently completed the hyper-realistic drawing course by Kelvin and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The course was exceptionally well-structured, Kelvin's expertise and passion for art were evident in every lesson, making complex techniques accessible and engaging.Throughout the course, I appreciated the balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. I now feel much more confident in my ability to create hyper-realistic drawings.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their drawing skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, Kelvin's course offers something for everyone.

Thank you, Kelvin for an outstanding learning experience!

The best drawingcourses

Hi Kelvin.
For one year ago I bought your drawing cources, and that was the best decision I have ever made, after looking how you draw, I are learning a different way to draw. This cources have give me more confidence in my drawing, and it have change my life. After getting better from learning from you I have got my first assignment, just becauce I bought your cources.
Dear Kelvin, thank you so much for what you do, you was the first artist I saw drawing this style a few years ago, and when I saw you first time, I was so amazed what you did with a pencil, it was magic to me.
You are my tru hero, and I hope one day I master this craftmanship like you.
Love from Lars Emmanuel xxx

Thank you from the heart for such a moving message, Lars.

Reading this genuinely touched me and reminded me why I do what I do. Knowing that the courses have helped you grow in confidence, change the way you see drawing, and even lead to your first assignment is incredibly special to hear. That is a huge milestone and something you should be very proud of.

Hearing that my work inspired you years ago and sparked your journey means more than you can imagine. Your passion, commitment, and openness to learning are what truly create progress. Mastery comes through patience, consistency, and love for the craft, and you are already walking that path.

Thank you for your kindness, your trust, and your support. Keep drawing, keep believing in yourself, and keep enjoying the process. I look forward to seeing how far your journey continues to grow!

100% RECOMMENDABLE!

100% recommendable! Undoubtedly one of the best courses to improve your level of skills, whether you are a beginner or advanced. Kelvin with absolute patience explains step by step the creative process. He shows you all the tools that he himself uses to create his incredible artworks and teaches you how to use each one of them and reveals their secrets to you. The tips are very useful and easy to apply. The course is very complete. It is certainly money worth investing. You can always play the videos and discover something new. I have seen the benefits in my own works quickly. My clients are even more satisfied with the commissions that are more and more hyper-realistic.
Thank you🙏 from the bottom of my heart Master Kelvin for sharing your love for art and your gift with us, filling our souls with such beauty. Your generosity is priceless.❤️❤️❤️

Review of kelvins drawing course

I’ve been drawing only 1 year, I have a great skill set and since I started drawing have been paid by family and friends to do commissions. I’ve source a few online courses and paid for a variety but I’ve found kelvins has taken my skills set to the next level. I like realism and wondered how the artist I see online create the work they do, kelvins clear example and step by step techniques have been easy to apply and I’m seeing the benifits within my own work. I am now able to charge more for my commissions as my work has significantly improved. For anyone starting or experienced I would highly recommend this course. Best Buy I’ve done.

Thank you so much, Richard, for taking the time to share this.

It genuinely means a lot to hear how your confidence and ability have grown in such a short space of time. Going from 1 year of drawing to producing paid commissions and raising your prices is a huge achievement and a real credit to your dedication and work ethic.

I am really pleased that the step by step structure has helped make realism clearer and easier to apply within your own practice. Seeing students turn knowledge into tangible progress is exactly why I do this.

Keep pushing yourself and enjoying the process, as your journey is only just beginning!

There is not enough space to say all…

There is not enough space to say all the great experiences I have had with Kelvin, his staff, his classes and his art. All communications have been faster than responses from friends - it didn’t matter if it was Kelvin or his staff. His art speaks for itself and face it, when you look at it, it is what brought us here to his site - it is stunning and emotive. Then there are the classes. I am fortunate to be blessed with modules 1-6 and I am still working my way through. The quality, instruction, passion for the love of art, and his unique approach aides in creating a confidence that we can each one day achieve our own mastery of the beauty a simple pencil can achieve. I will go over and over these for the rest of my days…as each time makes me a bit better. I cannot thank Kelvin enough for everything and I will report back when I have made my way through the entire course. Never has there been a better graphite portrait class or a better instructor 👏 Bravo, Kelvin, Bravo!

Amazing course, amazing artist

Kelvin was one of the first artists I came across on IG when I started my art journey, and was left in awe. His technique and detailed explanation makes the process seem effortless and the results are unbelievable. I finished his teaching modules online and immediately ran to my sketchbook to try and develop those skills and to see the magic come alive! The modules go into so much explanation and recorded in real-time which really makes you realise how much time and effort needs to go into a piece of art. Recently, I felt there was an area I wanted to work on more regarding details and technique so I reached out to Kelvin for some advice. I received a response within 1 day and he had addressed all my queries in so much detail. Great customer service! He was prompt, professional and I highly recommend his courses.

Before I get into the review I want to…

Before I get into the review I want to share I would like to point out to not only students or artists
Kelvin has a unique mind that I personally haven't come across in a long time. He has a gift that connects and conveys his feelings and passion of what he loves to the world and thus creating a bond that inspires and attracts many around him.

For my review..

I had the pleasure of having a pleasant and rewarding 1 hour session with Kelvin 1-1 in where he went over two different techniques in the area I felt for years I have been lacking, we went over topics such as where the lightest areas and the darkest areas on par with the reference we was working.

We also went over how to achieve the best tone for different hair in regards to what colour the background the reference and how to achieve light tones to create strands of hair. We also took a moment to look at different types of hair and how to achieve the tones and realism.

Overall Kelvin spoke very clearly, showed me up close so I witnessed what he was teaching and showed me a way of achieving what I've been lacking in a easy and understandable way.

I would definitely recommend anyone who loves the notion of creating, exploring their mind to inquire about either his modules he has on his website which have helped me greatly or injure about his classes or his 1-1

The course is easy to follow and gets to the point.

I ordered Kelvin's course a few weeks ago and am very satisfied. The course is easy to follow and gets to the point. No elaborate editing, no distracting video effects just a master who presents the steps to make drawings in his own way. I highly recommend this training for people wanting to refine their portrait technique.

Kelvin Okafor Masterclass

I attended one of Kelvin’s Masterclasses and found it very inspiring! He was demonstrating both drawing techniques and showing which materials he uses, as well as he answeared all questions. It was such a good Masterclass where he explained in depth how he works and showing as well valuable tricks to help you improve your own drawing technique.
