This page collects my drawing guides and tutorials in one place. I’m not trying to make drawing feel complicated or academic. I’m not trying to make drawing feel complicated or academic. I care more about building a steady practice, learning a few core skills that actually move the needle, and keeping your sketchbook active even when you’re busy or not feeling confident.
When I’m trying to keep momentum, I usually start with a simple list of drawing prompts so I’m not spending my energy deciding what to draw. If you’d rather go broader and pick a theme, I’ve put together a page of drawing ideas that’s more open-ended. And if the real issue is confidence, perfectionism, or getting unstuck.
When you want the practical side, check out my recommended drawing supplies such as pens, pencils, sketchbooks, paper, and beginner-friendly gear on drawing tools, and the skill-building side (line quality, shading, perspective, mark-making, and exercises) on drawing techniques. And if you like learning from classics, I’ve also got notes and recommendations on drawing books.
