EduPoint online drawing lessons pair one learner with one tutor over video, plus a second phone aimed down at the paper so the tutor follows each pencil stroke while the hand is still moving. The path runs line, shape, proportion, light and shadow, then perspective. The hourly rate is Rp 54,000, open to children, teens, and adult hobbyists alike.

What is
An online drawing lesson puts two views on the tutor's screen: the learner's face, and the paper filmed from above by a second phone. The tutor corrects strokes as they happen, demonstrates on their own sheet, and reviews sketchbook photos weekly. Lessons are private 1-on-1, in 60, 90, or 120-minute sessions.
Key Points
**Two cameras, two jobs.** The first camera on a laptop or phone carries the face and the conversation. The second phone, pointed at the desk, carries the paper, the pencil, and the hand, so the tutor can tell whether a line is pulled from the shoulder or pushed from the wrist.
**The tutor draws too.** When explaining hatching or a vanishing point, the online drawing tutor demonstrates on their own paper, which is also on camera, so the learner sees the order of the strokes from light pressure to firm.
**Weekly sketchbook review.** Practice done between sessions is photographed and sent in. The tutor opens those photos at the next lesson and points to what needs another pass, such as a cast shadow falling the wrong way for the light source.
**Fundamentals in order.** Line and shape come first, then proportion, value, and perspective. The sequence lines up with the five perceptual skills described by Betty Edwards: edges, negative space, relationships, lights and shadows, and the whole.
**The learner's own tools.** Paper, pencils, an eraser, and a phone stand are set up by the learner. The tutor shares a starter list and digital teaching material, and does not buy or lend equipment.
**Material and recordings stay available.** Drawing modules are worked through together during the session, each lesson is recorded on video, and every sketch exercise can be reopened later in EduPoint's learner app (app.edupoint.id) between lessons.
Every format uses the same two-camera setup. What changes is the session length and how many learners share the call. Each per-session figure below comes from the EduPoint pricing engine on the 28-session monthly plan, so a learner who sketches with the tutor less often in a month sees a slightly higher figure per meeting.
per session
A comfortable length for primary school children and beginners meeting graphite pencils for the first time. A typical hour holds a ten-minute line warm-up, one main exercise, and a review of the result through the paper camera before wrapping up.
per session
Enough time to take one shaded drawing to completion. Teens working on value or preparing an art assignment usually need this range, because a 2B to 6B gradient has to be built up slowly in layers.
per session
A long session for two-point perspective, portraits, or still-life observation on the desk. Adult hobbyists who can only study once a week often choose this length so one piece gets finished in a single meeting.
per session
Two learners, for example siblings or two friends, join the same call and each switch on their own paper camera. The tutor checks the two sketches in turn. The fee shown is per person per session.
per session
Three learners at a similar stage study together, which works well for quick sketch drills or observation drawing from the same object. The per-person fee is the lightest, with the tutor's attention shared three ways.
These five stages are the tutor's map. Where each learner starts is decided from the first drawing they make in front of the second camera, whatever their age.
Learners practise straight lines, curves, and circles with a relaxed hand, then build everyday objects from boxes, cylinders, and spheres. On the paper camera the tutor watches pencil grip and how hard the learner presses.
Subjects
Focus Areas
Learners measure by holding a pencil at arm's length, compare heights and widths, and read the empty space around an object. The tutor demonstrates this sighting method on their own sheet so the sequence is easy to follow.
Subjects
Focus Areas
Learners meet the pencil scale from hard, pale H grades to soft, dark B grades, make a value scale, then apply cross-hatching, gradients, and cast shadows. The second camera shows hatching direction, so the tutor can straighten strokes that fight the form.
Subjects
Focus Areas
Learners draw horizon lines, vanishing points, and boxes in one-point and two-point perspective, then arrange several objects within one picture plane. The tutor reads the construction lines left on the sketch to find a vanishing point that has drifted.
Subjects
Focus Areas
Learners apply every fundamental to faces, human figures, and more complex observation pieces. The tutor helps pick the strongest work and sequence the sketchbook into a tidy portfolio that fits the goal the learner shared at the first consultation.

These six modules are covered with the tutor during sessions and stay in the learner app for further practice. Their order can be rearranged to match the learner's starting point.
The drawing modules are part of EduPoint's 1,000+ active modules. Tutors add practice sheets as needed, such as extra objects for observation drawing or face references for portrait studies.
Module 01
Training the eye to follow an object's edge and the hand to trace it without rushing. Blind contour and controlled contour exercises build the habit of looking before marking.
Module 02
Any object can be simplified into boxes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. This module teaches how to find those forms inside a glass, a shoe, or a toy sitting on the desk.
Module 03
Drawing the gaps between objects is often easier than drawing the objects themselves. Learners also practise measuring angles and ratios with the pencil as a sighting tool.
Module 04
Learners build a five- to nine-step value scale, learn how H, HB, and B pencils differ, and practise layering tone without pressing too hard at the start.
Module 05
Horizon lines and vanishing points are used to draw tables, hallways, houses, and streets. Learners keep their guide lines light so they clean up easily once the drawing is done.
Module 06
Every fundamental comes together in one piece, such as a still life, a corner of a bedroom, or a portrait. Learners also learn to photograph sketchbook pages in even light so the tutor can review them clearly.
A learner's age shapes session length and how the tutor demonstrates. These three groups make up most online drawing learners.
Children learn to hold a pencil properly, draw from basic shapes, and commit to a line without fear of getting it wrong. A 60-minute session keeps attention steady. A parent only needs to help mount the second phone at the start, then can read the tutor's notes after each lesson.
Teens usually arrive with a clearer goal: cleaner shading for art class, portrait drawing, or an illustration style they admire. The tutor lays down proportion and value first so whatever style they choose has solid footing.
Working adults, university students, and retirees who want to start drawing from scratch or return to an old hobby. Sessions can sit in the evening or at the weekend, and one piece is often finished in a single long session.
Drawing progress is hard to capture with a test score, so tutors use a skills rubric filled in from direct observation through the paper camera and from sketchbook photos. Here is a sample.

Overall Progress
Long lines now go down in one motion. Guide lines still need a lighter touch.
Pencil sighting is used without a reminder. Bottle heights still tend to run tall.
The darkest areas face the right way, but the 6B is pressed too hard on the first layer.
Each lesson is recorded on video, including the moments when the tutor demonstrates on their own paper. Learners can play it back while practising at home.
Line, proportion, value, and perspective are scored separately, which shows clearly which skills are already strong and which need more practice.
Each month the tutor writes a summary with the best pieces, the change visible in the sketchbook photos, and the target for the next stage. For younger learners, the summary also goes to a parent.
Next Target
Three-object still life lit by one source
End of month three
Each stage has a tool in the learner's hand and something specific the tutor watches for through the second phone on the desk. Pick a stage to see the detail.
The tutor watches whether a line is pulled in one confident motion or built from many short, hesitant marks, and whether the learner reaches for the eraser too soon.
What you practice here
The learner practises long lines driven from the elbow and shoulder, and keeps first lines light as a guide.
One phone pointed down at the desk is enough. It joins the video call as a second participant, its rear camera on the paper and its microphone muted to avoid echo. A phone stand, a stack of books, or any simple prop is arranged by the learner. During the consultation the tutor can help adjust the angle and lighting until the paper reads clearly.

common pitfalls
Most problems in online drawing lessons come from camera setup and practice habits, and each one can be sorted out in the first week.
01
Why it happens
One laptop camera cannot show the face and the paper at once. Lifting the sheet up to the lens every few minutes also breaks the flow of drawing.
Our solution
Mount a second phone above the desk, filming the paper from overhead for the whole session. The tutor sees each stroke as it happens and the learner never has to stop.
02
Why it happens
Shifting window light or a lamp that glares off the page makes the camera misread values, so the tutor's feedback can miss.
Our solution
Use a desk lamp from one direction, keep glare off the paper, and send a close-up photo when the tutor asks to see the hatching in detail.
03
Why it happens
Without a tutor at their side, many beginners start with an eye or an ornament before the big shape is right, then struggle when proportions slip.
Our solution
The tutor holds the working order from large shapes to small, and demonstrates it on their own paper before the learner begins.
04
Why it happens
Drawing needs hours outside the session, and without a clear target, practice is easy to put off.
Our solution
Each session ends with one measurable sketchbook task, such as five cylinder studies, and the photos are reviewed at the start of the next lesson.
The tutor walks through all four in the first session, so the learner never has to guess at the right setup.
The question people ask most: can a tutor really see and correct a drawing from somewhere else? These four points answer it.
The second camera shows what a finished drawing hides: how the pencil is held, which way strokes run, and how often the eraser comes out. Corrections can then address the cause, right in the middle of the session.
EduPoint online drawing tutors come from Fine Arts Education and Fine Arts programmes at a range of universities, including ISI Yogyakarta, ISBI Bandung, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, and Universitas Sebelas Maret. Each learner is matched with a tutor chosen for their age and goal.
The learner draws at the same desk every week, with familiar tools and lighting they set themselves. With no travel involved, the time saved can go into sketchbook practice.
If the way a tutor corrects sketches does not suit the learner after a few lessons, EduPoint swaps in another drawing tutor and charges nothing extra for the change. A 30-day deposit guarantee also gives something to lean on during the first month.

Accounts of learning to draw over video with a paper camera, from young children to adult hobbyists.
“I had doubts because my daughter is only in grade 2. It turned out an old phone propped on a stack of books was enough. The tutor could see how she held the pencil and fixed it in the first minute.”
“What helped most was watching the tutor draw on her own paper. I could count how many layers of hatching went down before the dark areas appeared.”
“I came back to drawing after more than a decade away. A two-hour session on Saturday morning is enough to finish one still life, and I rewatch the recording midweek.”
“I send photos of my sketchbook every Thursday. At the start of the session the tutor points straight to the drawing where the perspective leans, so the next week's practice has a clear aim.”
“My two kids share a group of 2 class. Each has their own phone pointed at the paper and the tutor checks them in turn. The notes after each session tell me what they worked on.”
Private online drawing lessons are priced from Rp 54,000 per hour. That hourly rate holds for 60, 90, and 120-minute sessions alike, so the learner can match the session length to the piece, from a short line drill to a portrait that needs two hours. Groups of 2 or 3 split the rate per person.

Drawing sessions per month range from 4 up to 28, depending on how much sketchbook time the learner wants. Settle it at once, or split it: half as the first sketch begins and the rest when the package hits its midpoint. Every payment method works, whether a digital wallet, QRIS, a card, Virtual Account, a bank transfer, or cash handed over at an Indomaret or Alfamart till. You will see the exact amount on the sign-up form before paying.
Because the second camera stays on the paper the whole session, the tutor can stop a line before it gets too heavy. This matters most during shading, when pressing too hard early is hard to erase.
The online drawing tutor switches on their own paper camera when showing an example. The learner sees where a line starts, how many layers of hatching go down, and when the pencil changes from HB to 4B.
Solo practice is photographed and sent before the next session. The tutor opens the photos with the learner, picks one or two to discuss, and writes new exercises around the mistakes that keep coming back.
After every lesson the tutor notes what was covered, what is now solid, and the practice for that week. These notes feed the progress report the learner can read in the learner app.
Recorded video courses and group online drawing classes each have their strengths. This comparison looks at the learning experience, especially at who actually sees the learner's strokes.

Short answers on the second camera, drawing supplies, fees, and how sign-up works.
Yes, as long as a second camera is on the paper. A phone points down at the desk and joins the video call, so the tutor watches strokes as they happen, including pencil grip and hatching direction. The tutor also demonstrates corrections on their own sheet and reviews photos of your sketchbook every week.
