You’ll be guided through every step, from the first light marks to the finished drawing. No guessing. No getting stuck halfway through.

​

​
​

If you’ve ever sat down to draw and thought — why doesn’t mine look right, you’re not alone.

​

​
​

Most people who come to me have already tried. They’ve watched YouTube videos, bought supplies, started a drawing... and then quietly given up halfway through. Not because they weren’t capable. Just because no one ever gave them a clear, calm path to follow.

​

​
​

That’s exactly what Pencil Paws Academy is.

​

​
​

It’s an online membership for beginner and intermediate artists who want to learn to draw realistic animals in coloured pencil, step by step, without the jargon or the pressure.

​

​
​

I started drawing myself in 2020 with a piece of printer paper and an HB pencil. No training. No idea what I was doing. Just a quiet need for something to focus on.
​

I made a lot of mistakes along the way, spent money on the wrong things, couldn’t figure out why my drawings weren’t looking realistic, wondered more than once if I was just not cut out for it.

​

​
​

That experience is baked into everything I teach. Because I know what it feels like to be stuck. And I know what actually helps.
