"I don't know how to draw" - Start Here
Since starting Now, Draw! I've had many messages from people who'd love to try drawing but say some version of"I don't know how" or "I don't know where to begin."
This course is my answer to that.
‘‘What actually happens in a session?’’
You'll draw from reference images I send you beforehand, in your own space, at your own pace
I'll be live on Zoom the whole time, demonstrating and talking you through each step. This is an invaluable opportunity to see how I approach problems with my drawing and then resolve them.
You can ask questions as you go, just like you would in the room with me
No experience, no fancy equipment, and no judgement. Just a clear process you can return to again and again
This course is designed for:
Maybe you:
Don’t know how to start or place a drawing on the page
Panic with quick poses
Get bogged down with details
Always draw the head too big or run out of paper halfway down the legs
Avoid foreshortening completely
You will have 2 months to review the recording in your own time.
We’ll work through:
Which materials to use
Approaches to quick poses
Introduction to proportion, foreshortening and simple measuring
Composition on the page
Basic tonal work
Alternative ways to begin a drawing
The session is from 6:30-8:30pm. Please arrive a few minutes early to check your connection.
If you are younger than 18 please ask your parent or guardian to email me before booking.
This is the perfect session to build your confidence with any Life Drawing class in-person or online.

‘My last piece was a four week online course and she talked us through every step of the way and I always felt inspired, relaxed and uplifted after each session.
Susannah has a way of engaging and explaining that is so real that you feel she is in the room with you which is an essential element in working online. Aside from that her encouragement to me and to everyone in the class was fantastic and so the group atmosphere was always so warm and welcoming.’ - Vivien - 4 week Online Portrait Course
''Susannah is a remarkable, gentle, calm and encouraging presence, the kind we all appreciate having as we brave the adventures of creating.'' - Meg
''Susannah's demonstrations and feedback were excellent during the session, which helped massively when trying to learn different aspects of life drawing such as; observation, proportions, scale and techniques with different tools like pencil and charcoal.'' - Drew - ‘Where Do I Even Begin?!’ Life Drawing Skills
You will receive the Zoom link and photographs to work from for the session a week before the course starts.
