Drawing can be super hard, especially when just starting out or when you feel like your skills hit a wall and you stop improving. But fear not, this is completely normal and this is why I made this class! :)

We’re going to break down your drawing barriers by working on the fundamentals. No matter how playful your style is, to get the most success in your art you need a strong foundation first. In this class, we’re going to focus on the 3 most important building blocks to level up your artistic skills quickly:

  • Observation
  • Stylization
  • & Memorization

All three build on each other and I’ll show you how and why. With some basic exercises, you'll develop a keen eye for detail, learn how to infuse your unique style into your art, and work on your memory, which is key for learning to draw from imagination.

We'll also embark on an exciting 7-day drawing challenge that will push your skills to the next level. By the end of this class, you'll be equipped with a handy worksheet to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, and have the tools to create any art your heart desires.

Think of this class as a strength-building exercise that will make you powerful in defeating your drawing foes so that you can draw anything you like and explore your unlimited artistic potential. There’s no stress here, we’re not making art for results, we’re just going to be practicing. So, it's time to quiet down that inner critic, it doesn’t matter how wonky your art is as long as you try. With my help, you'll see an immediate improvement in your skills, and who knows where your creativity will take you next? So, what are you waiting for? Pick up a pencil and let’s start! :)
