This video is an authentic operating manual. The peculiarity with which the phases of the academic program are elaborated make it unique.
We can say that this video transcends the usual manual.
It is almost like being in the shop with Maestro Domenico Mileto who, step by step, explains in detail what to do and how to do it.

Hand posture and hatching
Pin the lead
Exercise Level ZERO:
Learn to use the graphite tool, enabling the hand to control the drafting and hatching.
NB: Each step from here on, will have in itself the peculiarity of the exercise, and that is, the act which, despite difficulties, will be repeated and repeated with commitment and constancy. One thing that is difficult at first, with exercise can become simpler and simpler.
Exercise Level ONE:
This exercise enables the hand not only to control graphite, but to its sensitive and conscious use.
If done well, without haste conceiving it as something not an end in itself, what has been elaborated above is an authentic gateway to all the magic of drawing, given that the objective reality is composed of volumes and light and shade.
Exercise Level TWO
You will perceive that the executive objectivity on which I firmly insist, as the main possibility of learning, will make you recover skills that not even you suspected you had, nothing will be the same as before. The inevitable academic effort carried out removes the dormant talent in an irreversible way. Therefore an acquired ability to control, to draw, to draft, combined with the volumetric chiaroscuro sense, at the service of a duplication of objective, three-dimensional reality.
Exercise Level TWO bis
To deepen in a more complex light and shade volumetric research key, the preparatory theme addressed in the previous level
(Level TWO).
"The reason is very simple, I can never insist enough on the fact that although the path may sometimes seem difficult, and that the dream, as often happens, is to arrive quickly at the pictorial path, the drawing remains the key element."
Domenico Mileto
