I Help Leisure & Hobby Artists to Create Stunning Artwork by Improving Their Drawing & Observation Skills

Hi There, I'm Phil Davies

I'm  the guy you'll have to put up with should you decide to join any of the courses here at Draw Awesome!

You might know me from another art-based website called ArtTutor (how many art websites does one person need?!) but more likely, you don't know from Adam. So here's my life story a bit about my background...

At school, I was considered quite good at art because I could shade things realistically. However, I was no better than anyone else at drawing from observation. I had to trace or use the grid method and I never used anything other than pencils.

About 15 years ago, I taught myself to draw by eye after a lot of studying and research. I've now been lucky enough to teach this to over 30,000 students.  

If you'd like to see some of my art and whether my style appeals to you, take a look at my Instagram page here:
