The problem with learning from Youtube is that there is so much content and many of the artists on Youtube aren’t teachers! They haven’t worked through drawing problems with real students.
Maybe you've looked around for courses but what you've found seems to involve lots of shading cubes and spheres. Now, this is one way to learn but it's not really that interesting. I’m on a mission to make learning to draw easier and fun!
To have an enjoyable experience learning to draw you need clear explanations from a teacher who understands how to guide you through the key challenges that beginners face.
Sketch Club is a series of classes designed to teach you fundamental drawing skills through consistent practice...because its not enough to just learn the basic skills, you need to put them to use!
Each class is 1-3 hours long and covers a different subject AND focuses on a different skill like shading or perspective. Choose what you want to draw and learn as you practice!
Purchase courses and classes individually for life-time access or join the membership for monthly access to all content.
Start with a Learn To Draw course and then move on to projects when you feel ready.
Finish a class in one session or spread it out over several days or weeks depending on your lifestyle
Try out lots of different subjects and choose what you like the best to do more of!

Feedback and guidance from an experienced drawing teacher
Each month you'll get a new full length drawing tutorial which takes you step by step through how to draw a particular subject. In each tutorial we'll focus on a specific technique so you know exactly what you are practicing and how it is going to help you improve.
You know the answer to this... its the same way you get better at anything...through practice!
It helps to have a tutor or a course to guide you in what to practice, so you are not just randomly trying things.
To get more specific, learning to draw requires study and practice. Study is when you focus on a specific skill such as shading or proportion.
Practice is when you take all the skills you have and use them to draw something or anything!
My Sketch Club drawing tutorials are great if you are stuck for what to draw but still want to practice to get better. Start with the Learn To Draw course included in the membership, and then mix and match whichever classes you like to make sure you keep improving.
How many times have you watched an artist demonstration on Youtube and been in awe of what they are doing? There are so many amazing artists out there. But how often do you come away from those videos feeling lost - yes it looks great but how can I do that?
I'm an artist, but I'm also a professional drawing teacher. I've been teaching art for over 20 years, including teaching at universities and running my own drawing classes, painting classes and life drawing classes.
Instead of showing you how I draw, I teach you drawing skills in ways that are tried and tested from years of experience teaching in-person classes. I keep things practical, with exercises specifically designed to improve observation and coordination.
I can also provide valuable feedback. I'll let you know what's working well in your drawing but I won't praise just for the sake of praise. I'll identify what you can improve and most importantly I can show you how to improve it!
