So what is Let's Draw?!
Let's Draw is a pre-recorded class consisting of 8 downloadable step-by-step tutorials.
Who says drawing has to be ‘good’?
Who says drawing has to be realistic?
NOT ME!
Drawing is for everyone. It is so accessible and if you allow yourself to enjoy it then it is also truly relaxing and so rewarding. If you have a sketchbook and pen with you wherever you go you will always have something to do or be able to capture a memory. DRAWING is such a broad subject but this class has a bit of everything - doodling, pattern building, single line drawing, creating whimsical characters, drawing from imagination and drawing what you see!
Make drawing part of your daily practice - you don't need a heap of materials, and you can do it anywhere. Oh, and don't say you can't draw - the only person saying that is you! Of course you can! The more you draw the better you get, the better you get the more confident you become, the more confident you become the more you draw. See where I'm going here?!
After purchase an email will be sent TO THE EMAIL LINKED TO YOUR ETSY ACCOUNT where you will find:
- A PDF with explanation and supplies list
- Help sheets (x4 as one document)
- Photographs (x2)
Please allow a little time for me to do this especially if we are in different time zones!
WHERE WILL I FIND THE VIDEOS?
Let's Draw! is held on Vimeo in a private group. Vimeo is free to join, and once there you can view the videos on-line or download them to your own device. Instructions are given in the included pdf.
HOW LONG DO THE VIDEOS RUN FOR?
There are 8 videos which run for up to 35 minutes, each one focusing on a different project, over 3 hours of film. It makes sense to start at part 1 and follow them in order but you don’t have to!
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO THE CLASS?
The class will remain on Vimeo for the foreseeable future, but don't forget you can also download the videos to your own device (or an external hard drive) to keep forever.
