Are you on the hunt for the best darn free drawing tutorials out there? Look no further than the Etherington Brothers, my friend. These two have been churning out their How to Think When You Draw series since 2017, and it's chock-full of amazing tutorials that'll make you wanna kiss your pencils.

Each lesson is geared towards a specific subject and laid out in a super clear, highly visual format. And get this: unlike other drawing tutorials out there, this series is completely free. No pesky paywalls, subscriptions, or downloads needed. Ain't that a hoot?

Now, let me tell you something else that'll make your socks roll up and down: these guys have worked with some of the biggest studios on the planet, including Disney, Dreamworks, and the BBC. So you know their tutorials are the real deal, with high energy and sleek graphics that'll make you feel like a regular ol' Picasso.

And let's not forget about their own comics, like Long Gone Don and Stranski, where Lorenzo handles the art and Robin takes care of the writing. Lorenzo's art style is whimsical and bold, kinda like if Bill Watterson and Will Eisner had a lovechild. And that style translates perfectly to their tutorials, which have a vivid comic format that'll make your eyes pop.

What really sets How to Think When You Draw apart, though, is the wide range of topics covered. Sure, you can find plenty of tutorials on figure drawing or portraits, but these guys take it to the next level with tutorials on levitating figures, cat heads, motorbikes, avalanches, chain mail, bird wings, and more. It's like a buffet of drawing tutorials, and I don't know about you, but I'm hungry for more.

Oh, and if you're one of those people who prefers physical books over digital ones, you're in luck. The Etherington Brothers have published collected volumes of their tutorials on Kickstarter, raising over $3 million and earning the title of the most successful artbook on the platform. So go ahead, pre-order that fifth 200-page hardback, and get ready to become a drawing master.

Now, why would these brothers be so generous with their knowledge? Well, Lorenzo said it best in an interview with sketchwallet.com: "I want to build an Encyclopedia of drawing tutorials so big and so diverse that 200 years after my death, someone somewhere is still using it. That’s the plan, anyway!" And hey, with these tutorials, you just might become immortal.
