Sergej Schachow

Sergej Schachow offers a portfolio of specialized non-degree art courses and workshops delivered entirely online. The curriculum focuses on freehand drawing, sketching, digital illustration, and foundational artistic techniques. Academic degree programs such as bachelor's or master's degrees are not part of the offerings. Instead, participants complete self-paced continuing education courses that culminate in a personalized, printable certificate of completion. Foundational offerings cover traditional drawing methods for beginners and advanced artists looking to structure their practice. The core entry course, Zeichnen lernen, includes 67 step-by-step video exercises, an accompanying eBook, and interactive 3D browser models to build an understanding of three-dimensional forms. Perspective drawing is taught in Perspektivisch Zeichnen, which comprises 52 video exercises covering one-, two-, and three-point perspective. Quick drafting methods are covered in Schnell Skizzieren lernen, which incorporates timer-based video exercises and downloadable practice sheets. Additionally, the online workshop Schraffur, Licht & Schatten focuses on shading, contrast, and light behavior, providing participants with access to specialized digital tools including a light simulator and a grid generator. Subject-specific courses address figurative and thematic art. In Portraits zeichnen lernen, students study the proportions and detailed features of human faces across various drawing styles and materials. The course Menschen Zeichnen lernen, also structured as a mastercourse, focuses on rendering the human body in diverse poses using video lessons and exercise sheets. The portfolio also includes Urban Sketching, which teaches students to capture everyday city scenes, architectural elements, and landscapes on location using fineliners and watercolors. For decorative and stylized drawing, the provider offers Zendoodles zeichnen with pattern templates, while Zeichenschule für Kinder provides age-tailored drawing lessons and videos designed specifically for children. Digital art instruction is provided through Digital Zeichnen lernen, also titled Digital Zeichnen & Malen lernen. This course spans seven hours of video tutorials across 22 practical exercises and ten downloadable templates, teaching software-independent techniques on tablets and desktop computers, covering digital sketching, line work, layering, and coloring. All courses operate as distance learning via an online platform called Lernecke, accessible on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Students receive unrestricted, lifetime access to the video lessons, downloadable PDF eBooks, and printable exercise sheets, allowing for completely flexible scheduling without on-site attendance requirements.
