I've had the opportunity to learn how to draw through some amazing online art courses (Watts Atelier Online, Proko, Society of Visual Storytellers, Ctrl+Paint, Drawabox). Each of these resources has a specific area of expertise and I have had great success with all of them! No one course will teach you everything.
Drawabox focuses on teaching the fundamentals of drawing from a construction-based approach. The exercise-based curriculum teaches you to understand basic perspective and how to translate 3-dimensional objects onto a 2-dimensional surface. It is not easy, but the results are absolutely worth the effort!
