In this course, the artist and painter Eloy Morales will make an exhaustive tour and analysis of the tonal value in drawing, offering first-hand all his knowledge and mastery of the technique so that we can improve our way of facing and constructing the first phase of drawing in each of our works.
Eloy will teach us a way of understanding drawing through the stain and the tonal values, to gradually darken and soften the relationship of the forms through the study of the value, to look for the plane through synthesis, to give vital importance to the so-called simultaneous contrast and the relationship of grays or how to achieve a feeling of absolute realism among many other teachings and masterful learnings.
Through a dozen videos of more than 4 hours in length we will see:
- Materials, pencils and the reason for photography.
- Fit. Maximum lights. Adjustment of values. Volume.
- Pressure and hardness. Difference in value. Transparency. Hierarchies.
- Synthesis work. Subtlety. Relation of greys.
- Maximum points of light and darkness. Areas of penumbra
- The atmosphere. Search for balance and abstraction of form
- Importance of simultaneous contrast, structure and much more.

About the artist
Eloy Morales
Spanish painter ( Madrid, 1973)
Graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1998, he has been professionally dedicated to the world of painting and drawing for more than three decades. With a very defined style and an exquisite mastery of technique, he is one of the most recognized artists in the panorama of pictorial realism at an international level. His work can be found in public and private collections around the world: in the United States, Mexico, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Spain, and Spain.
In his own words: “I am interested in working with reality to express it in terms of painting. My driving force is to establish a personal line, where reality and painting coexist naturally, always reaching the image through plastic resources, pictorial codes and not photographic ones. Above all, I believe that the important thing is to show through the work, your way of seeing things and how you show them to the viewer."
In addition to being a painter, Eloy Morales is also a teacher/instructor and in his already extensive career he has given nearly a hundred seminars around the world.

Eloy Morales no solo es un gran artista, además es un gran docente. Ha sido un lujo poder ver paso a paso como desarrolla su técnica particular con grafito. Me han parecido muy útiles todos los comentarios que va diciendo a medida que desarrolla el dibujo. Espero que saque algún curso similar de sus pinturas al oleo. Este curso es muy recomendable.
