This is where you can get honest, constructive feedback from me on your work — composition, technique, colour, whatever you're stuck on or want a second eye on. First session: Friday 4th September, running weekly on Fridays after that. Want your work critiqued? Click on my profile picture at the top of this post and send me a DM with a photo and what you'd like feedback on — I'll pick pieces to feature here each week.

This is the space for quick technique tips, behind-the-scenes demos, and anything process-related — from me and from you. Pencil techniques, materials, shortcuts, "how'd you do that" moments — all welcome. 🗓️ Kicking off Tuesday 25th August, and running weekly from there. Got a tip of your own or a technique you're playing with? Drop it in the comments — I want this to be a two-way thing, not just me talking at you. Questions welcome too.

Glad you're here. This is a community for people learning pencil portraiture, from complete beginners to people refining their skills. You're in at the start of this, which means it's still being built, by you as much as by me. Here's how it works: - General Discussion — post your own work, even the rough bits. Ask questions, say hello, tell us what you're working on. - Tips and Demos — posted every Tuesday (NZ time — may land a day earlier for you depending on where you are). - Critique Corner — one submitted piece looked at properly, every Friday (NZ time — same applies) from 4 September. Our first live call is 6pm Friday 11 October, NZ time, open to everyone. Btw check the calendar tab for each month's lives. 💚 If you know someone else who'd get something out of this, bring them along. The one thing that I am after is a really enjoyable community where people can share and learn. The only rules this community has are there for that purpose: 1. Be respectful to other members 2. Keep posts on topic 3. Please respond to other members' posts 4. Enjoy learning and remember to only measure your progress against yourself - we all come to this with different experience and styles Paid membership is open now at $9/month (USD), locked in for life if you join before 15 November. After that the price moves up to $19/month for new members. Paid gets you the full 12-module self-paced course and priority in Critique Corner. Please introduce yourself and tell us what you enjoy drawing most.
