What We’ll Be Drawing During Coloured Pencil Week

This year’s subjects are so special and inspired by my upcoming trip to Africa. We’re going on a little safari together…

Lion Cub – Soft Fur & Warm Tones

We’ll focus on those beautiful golden colours and how to layer them so they don’t go flat.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build soft, realistic fur
  • Work with warm colour palettes confidently
  • Avoid that “muddy” or flat look

These are skills you can carry into any animal with soft fur.

Giraffe – Structure, Shape & Subtle Values

Giraffes are brilliant for learning how to really see.

We’ll explore:

  • How to use subtle values to create form
  • How to handle similar colours without losing depth
  • How to simplify patterns without losing realism

Perfect if your drawings sometimes feel a little flat or unsure.

Elephant – Texture, Depth & Finishing Your Piece

This is where everything comes together.

You’ll work on:

  • Creating realistic skin texture and wrinkles
  • Using stronger values for depth
  • Bringing a full piece together (including a simple background)

And most importantly… finishing your drawing so it feels complete.

What do tickets include? 

✨ Three full African animal drawings (lion cub, giraffe, and elephant)

✨ Step-by-step live sessions you can follow at your own pace

✨ 2 weeks replay access to watch back whenever it suits you

✨ Downloadable resources for each session (line art, references, pre session guides and materials lists)

Who Is Coloured Pencil Week For?

Honestly? Everyone.

Whether you:

  • Haven’t picked up your pencils in years
  • Feel a bit stuck or unsure where to go next
  • Or just want a calm, creative week to enjoy your art

You’ll be guided every step of the way.

Why Join Coloured Pencil Week?

Because it’s not just about the drawings you’ll create… it’s about how you’ll feel while you’re creating them.

You’ll be drawing alongside thousands of other artists around the world – all learning, improving, and showing up together. And there’s something incredibly special about that.

By the end of the week, you won’t just have three finished pieces… You’ll build confidence, understand how to layer and use values, and learn techniques you can carry into your own drawings!
