If you’re new to drawing with coloured pencils and not sure where to start, this class is designed to guide you through the process step by step.

In this course, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to get started with coloured pencils, from choosing the right materials, to understanding the core techniques, and learning how to approach a drawing with confidence.

Rather than focusing on complicated colour choices, we’ll work with just 12 coloured pencils, allowing you to concentrate on layering, blending, and learning how coloured pencils really work.

In this class, I will show you:

The essential materials needed for coloured pencil drawing
The core techniques I use in every coloured pencil piece
How to choose and use reference photos effectively
How to create an accurate sketch before you start drawing
A clear, repeatable drawing process from start to finish

This class is designed with beginners in mind. I explain each step clearly and avoid unnecessary technical language, so you can focus on enjoying the process while building solid foundations.

Once we’ve covered the techniques and process, we’ll put everything into practice by completing a full drawing together, a set of coloured pencils created using just 12 colours. The skills you learn here can be applied to almost any coloured pencil drawing going forward.
