Acerca de esta clase
If you're looking to start drawing with coloured pencils, this is the perfect introduction. My goal in this beginner's guide is to explain all of the key tools and techniques you need to know to get started. I want to keep everything very simple and beginner friendly, and I've selected the perfect drawing for an quick win to build newcomer confidence. Even better, it only uses 12 pencils!
I'll talk you through all of the materials that you'll need, the basic techniques that I use in every drawing, I'll then show you how to put all this into practice by drawing a little ladybird.
In this class I will show you:
- The basic materials any coloured pencil artist needs
- The fundamental techniques I use in every drawing
- The full process I use from beginning to the end
- How to create an accuate sketch and turn them into finished drawings
My class has been designed with the beginner in mind so I don't use lots of complicated phrases - everything is explained in plain words. Once I've explained the technique, you can see how it works on an actual drawing.

Hello, I'm Gemma.
I'm a graphite and colour pencil artist living in South-East UK. I've always been passionate about art and teaching; I believe drawing is a skill that can be taught rather than a talent that some possess and some do not. My teaching style aims to give you everything you need to draw what you see and create realistic artwork.

This ladybird will be the class project. I've picked this for a number of reasons - More than anything, I picked this because of it's simplicity. That said, it still has some aspects which will get you thinking, like all of the shading on the ladybirds body and the interesting shapes on the leaves.
If you would like to use the exact same colours as I have, I've included a list of colour swatches into the class resourses. You can also use these swatches to find the closest match in whichever set of pencils you own.
Materials
- 240gsm Bristol Board Paper (Smooth)
