You could progress to 'Drawing 3 - Developing skills and ideas'.
Completing this course gives you a portfolio of drawings with which to apply for our higher level Art and Design courses should you wish to, such as Extended Drawing for Artists and Makers. Alternatively, you could apply to one or more of a wide range of art subjects which use drawing skills to support and explore creativity, such as painting, fashion and textiles, graphic design and sculpture.
You could also (if you feel you need more practice) repeat 'Drawing 2' with another tutor, who will cover the same syllabus using different projects.
