Tame Your Pencil and Watch the Magic Happen

This week is all about getting your pencil to do exactly what you want it to do! You’ll experiment with all kinds of lines — thick and thin, curvy and straight, wobbly and smooth. And you’ll discover how different lines can create different feelings in your artwork.

Through a series of fun drawing games and challenges, you’ll build up your hand control and confidence. You’ll be amazed at how much more expressive your drawings become when you learn to control the marks you make.

By the end of this session, your pencil will feel like an extension of your hand!

Slow Down, Look Closely, Draw Brilliantly

Here’s a drawing secret the pros know: the key to great drawing isn’t about your hand — it’s about your eyes!

This week, you’ll learn observational drawing, which means really looking at something before you draw it. You’ll study objects carefully, noticing details you’d normally miss.

You’ll practise drawing real objects set up in the studio, training your eyes and hands to work together. It’s amazing how much better your drawings get when you slow down and truly see what’s in front of you.

This is one of those skills that levels up everything you draw from now on!

Make Your Drawings Pop Off the Page

Want to know how to make a flat circle look like a real 3D ball? That’s the power of light and shade!

This week, you’ll learn how to use your pencil to create a range of tones — from super light to really dark — and discover how shading can make your drawings look solid, round, and real.

You’ll explore where light hits an object and where shadows fall, then practise adding tone to simple forms. It’s like flipping a switch — once you understand light and shade, your drawings will go from flat to fantastic.

Get ready for some serious “whoa!” moments!

From Shapes to Fur, Feathers, and Scales

Time to put those shape skills to work and draw some amazing animals!

This session combines everything you’ve learned so far — shapes, lines, observation, and shading — and applies it to one of the most popular drawing subjects ever: animals!

You’ll learn step-by-step techniques for building animal drawings from basic shapes, then bring them to life by adding texture like fur, feathers, and scales.

Whether you’re a cat person, a dinosaur fan, or mad about giraffes, you’ll walk away with drawing tricks that let you tackle any creature you like.

Give Your Characters Some Serious Personality

Drawing faces is one of the most rewarding things you can learn. And this week, you’ll discover it’s not nearly as hard as you think!

You’ll learn the basic proportions of a face (where the eyes, nose, and mouth actually sit) and then have a blast experimenting with different expressions.

Happy, sad, surprised, cheeky, angry, silly — a few small changes can completely transform a face!

You’ll practise drawing characters with heaps of personality, and by the end of the session, you’ll have a whole page full of faces that’ll make everyone smile.

Make Your Drawings Stretch into the Distance

Ever wondered how artists make a road look like it disappears into the distance, or make buildings look like they’re really standing in space? That’s perspective — and this week, you’re going to learn how to do it yourself!

Using simple one-point perspective, you’ll create landscape drawings with real depth and distance. You’ll learn about vanishing points, horizon lines, and how things get smaller as they move further away.

It sounds technical, but once you see it in action, it just clicks — and your drawings will look more impressive than ever.

Dream It Up, Then Draw It!

This week, there are absolutely no rules!

Imagination drawing is all about reaching into your brain and pulling out the wildest, funniest, most creative ideas you can think of — then bringing them to life on paper. Want to draw a starfish wearing sunglasses? A flying pizza? A city on the back of a turtle? Go for it!

You’ll use all the skills you’ve built up over the past weeks — shapes, shading, texture, expression — to create something completely original and totally YOU.

This is where your creativity really gets to shine, and the results are always hilarious, surprising, and absolutely brilliant.

Unleash a Rainbow of Possibilities

We’re adding colour to the mix this week, and things are about to get vibrant!

You’ll explore different ways to use colour in your drawings — from blending and layering with coloured pencils to creating bold, eye-catching combinations that make your artwork sing.

You’ll learn about warm and cool colours, how to create mood and atmosphere, and some clever tricks for making your colours really pop. Whether you love bright and bold or soft and subtle, this session will give you the tools to use colour with confidence and flair.

Prepare for some seriously stunning results!

Flip Everything You Know and Draw in Reverse

For our grand finale, we’re flipping things upside down — or rather, inside out!

Drawing on black paper is a totally different experience because instead of adding shadows, you’re adding light. It feels like magic, and the results are absolutely spectacular.

Using white and coloured materials on dark paper, you’ll create artwork that glows and pops in a way that regular paper just can’t match. It’s the perfect way to end the term — with a “wow” piece that shows off everything you’ve learned. This will look incredible on the fridge, the wall, or anywhere you choose to display it!
