Are you new to coloured pencil?
Or, have you picked up your pencils before, but never really felt confident about what you were doing?
Perhaps you used to love drawing, then life got in the way. You had a break, lost your confidence, and somewhere along the way you lost that creative spark.
Or maybe you’re simply staring at a box of pencils, wondering… Where on earth do I start?
What do I actually need to learn?
Can I really learn to create something realistic?
What if I’m just not naturally talented enough? Well, today I’m giving you somewhere to start.
✏️ WHO IS THE PENCIL PATH FOR? Perhaps you are…
👉 A complete beginner wondering where to start.
👉 Someone who has tried coloured pencil but never really learned the fundamentals.
👉 An artist who has lost their confidence.
👉 Someone whose pencils have been sitting in a drawer waiting for you to come back.
👉 An artist who simply wants a clear pathway instead of jumping from tutorial to tutorial wondering what you should learn next. If any of those sound like you…
Come and take your first steps along with me. And if you’re already a member of my Patreon community, you’ll know that these three projects are only the beginning. There are hundreds of tutorials, projects, reference photos and resources waiting for you in the wider library, along with personalised critiques, Q&As, Guest Artist tutorials and interviews, and opportunities to join me live in the studio for our Studio Sessions. The Pencil Path will continue to grow too, with further paths and projects added as we go along. But you don't need to think about all of that yet. Just start here.
