Description
This membership tier has been specially created for beginner artists who want a simple, low-cost way to try my tutorials. With Just the Basics, you’ll unlock 10 carefully selected projects using coloured pencil, watercolour pencil, and graphite.
Here’s how the tutorials work:
-
Each project is broken into step-by-step chapters with full voiceover explanations — so you can easily pause, revisit, or complete one section at a time.
-
You’ll also have access to the full real-time footage, perfect if you prefer to draw alongside me at your own pace or simply see every detail of the process.
This makes it easy to learn in the way that suits you — either follow the clear instructions chapter by chapter, or put on the real-time version and draw with me in the background.
Every tutorial also includes:
-
The Reference photo
-
Sketch outlines (both heavy for tracing and light for printing)
-
Colour swatches and materials list

Below are a few examples of the tutorials and courses which are included in this tier:
Beginner’s Guide to Colored Pencils: Ladybird with Only 12 Colors
This course is the most basic and simplistic course I offer. I cover the bare essential skills needed to draw with coloured pencil, and then use these skills to draw a simple ladybird. My goal is to keep the materials as minimal as possible so this is drawn with only pencils from a standard set of 12.
Cherries with Prismacolor
These cherries have been extremely popular, and it’s easy to see why! Learn how to build up a series of different shades of red and create a really smooth texture. This is once again created with only pencils from the set of 12, to keep it nice and simplistic.
Beginners Guide: Realistic Drawings With Colored Pencils
Here’s a second full course covering how to draw with coloured pencils, and this one is slightly more complicated than the ladybird – although still beginner friendly! This is almost an overview of coloured pencils explaining the main techniques for using them as well as the full process I use for every drawing. Once we’ve covered these techniques, we can then apply them to an actual drawing by creating this vibrant sushi.
Realistic Drawings With Watercolor Pencils: A Beginner’s Guide
This is the 3rd full course included in this tier, where we take a look at drawing with watercolour pencils. This is a full beginner’s guide where I cover everything you need to know to draw with these pencils. From the materials you’ll need to the main techniques. After covering this, we can then use these skills to draw a fun and vibrant cupcake.
