What You’ll Learn During the Session

This isn’t about rushing through a drawing or trying to get everything perfect.

It’s about understanding how coloured pencils actually work – so things start to feel a little easier, a little calmer, and a lot more enjoyable.

During this 2 hour session, I’ll gently guide you through:

  • How to layer colour so it actually builds (not just scribble and hope!)
  • How colours blend and build on the paper, helping your drawings feel more natural and lifelike
  • Creating soft, fluffy fur using pressure and pencil direction
  • Using light and dark (values) to bring your drawing to life
  • And how small tweaks to features can completely change the character

Why This Is Such a Lovely Place to Start

So often, it’s not about how much you know – it’s about understanding a few simple things that make everything begin to click.

That’s what this session is all about.

By the end, you’ll have your own finished meerkat  and a set of skills you can confidently carry forward into your other drawings.

And if you can’t make it live, please don’t worry. You’ll have access to the full replay for a month, so you can come back to it whenever it suits you.

No pressure. No rush. Just a couple of hours of calm, creative time.
