So many people say 'I can't draw' - I say you can!

To draw is to communicate. A quick drawing is a powerful, memorable way to explain our ideas to others. I offer students a selection of tools and tricks to help them unlock their drawing potential, improve their visual literacy, and gain confidence to draw.

Every student has drawing abilities and interests, and we’ll look to build on these. If a fascination emerges during our sessions, I’ll encourage them to keep going. If we identify areas to work on, we’ll develop bespoke exercises to help build those muscles.

Simple drawing games form a fun icebreaker exercise, getting us to know one another and to help relax our drawing muscles. When we’re in a playful mindset, judgment is suspended, and by following the rules of the game there can be no ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ drawing.

As we get into more depth, we break down the drawing process into a series of small steps, from setting up a sheet to finishing touches. Along the way we’ll see that technical processes are the perfect shortcut towards making great drawings.

Skills we can work on include:
- Technical drawing
- Diagramming
- Graphics
- Setting up your sheet
- Size and scale
- Perspective
- Cartooning
- Choice of materials
And more!
