Artyfactory offers free art and design lessons for all. Learn how to draw, paint and design by following our illustrated step by step instructions. We are building a growing resource of tutorials, art history notes, ideas and techniques designed to improve your artistic skills and to increase your enjoyment in creating artworks.

We currently host a wide range of illustrated lessons including African masks, Egyptian art, pencil portraits, acrylic portraits, drawing animals, pen and ink drawing, perspective drawing, art appreciation, color theory, graphic design and typography.

Artyfactory places great importance on teaching art visually as opposed to verbally. We believe that artists teach themselves visually first and verbally second. This is why the visuals for each of our lessons are designed before the addition of any text. This ensures that they communicate the essence of the lesson in images alone. Step by step illustrations are used to capture the key stages of each lesson while the design of each page reflects or complements the theme. We believe that our focus on the visual appeal of the site enhances its usability for a wider audience and particularly allows those with reading difficulties to participate to a greater degree.

Although we emphasise the visual merits of the site, we also place great importance in the quality of the written content. The text and illustrations are created by the same person. This enables the author to communicate their hands-on experience and understanding of the creative process. The function of our text is to supplement the images with extra information and advice on developing the appropriate skills and techniques for the lesson and how to overcome any difficulties that you may encounter. We also try to enhance the practical side of the work with appropriate background knowledge of its theme or some critical evaluation of the subject. Our growing Art Appreciation section can be used to expand the context of many of the lessons.

 

We hope that you enjoy using Artyfactory
and find our lessons informative and fun.
