What Students Say About Draw Awesome...
How Draw Awesome Works
In-Depth Drawing Projects That Fit Around Your Schedule
Draw Awesome is a syllabus of carefully-planned, in-depth drawing projects that teach you how to observe like a skilled artist. This means you learn while you create something meaningful and rewarding.
You can follow drawing projects on any day of the week, and at any time that suits you. You're not fixed to set times like you are with live lessons.
Enroll TodayModules & Themes That Keep You Focused
The course consists of 6 Modules, with each Module consisting of 4 projects. Each Module focuses on a time-served drawing tool or medium (such as graphite pencils, ink pens and charcoal).
Later Modules focus on colour application and colour theory using coloured materials but still maintain a strong emphasis on fundamental drawing skills.

Not Your Typical Online Art Lessons
The Draw Awesome video lessons are uniquely designed so that ALL the emphasis is on YOU doing the drawing - not just watching me make something cool.
Most online art instruction leaves you completely in the dark when it comes to actually implementing a lesson afterward. Not Draw Awesome! You will know precisely what to do at every stage.
Enroll TodayMaster a Wide Range of Mediums, Styles & Subjects
It's not just about pencil drawing! You'll learn how to make stunning art with graphite, charcoal, ink, ink with watercolour, pastel pencil and coloured pencils.
We'll also create a range of subjects in a variety of styles together - like still life, landscapes, urban scenes, animals, figures, portraits and more.

The Mediums You'll Create With
You'll master 6 different drawing mediums over the course of the Draw Awesome syllabus, creating in both black & white and vibrant colour.
Graphite Pencils
The first and most widely used tool in every artist's kit - and the best for learning the fundamentals!
Charcoal
Great for blending and shading large areas quickly, we'll be using a range of charcoal supplies.
Ink Pens
Ink pens will help you master the art of hatching, weight of line, and allowing the paper surface to show through!
Pastel Pencils
A very underrated medium for mastering colour, and the one I recommend every artist should try.
Pen & Watercolour
A really in-vogue combination - perfect for quick, expressive sketches with loads of character and energy!
Coloured Pencils
Perfect for detailed, photo-realistic studies but overlooked for looser, quicker sketching. Not by us!
What Materials Will I Need?
I stick to simple, cost-effective materials that are widely available and that have stood the test of time. No gimmicks! We gradually introduce materials over the 6 Draw Awesome modules, allowing you to focus on one thing at a time.
Materials List
You'll get a list of the brands I use and recommend, as well as suitable alternatives, as soon as you join the course. Here's an overview:
Module 1 - Graphite
- A set of graphite pencils

Module 2 - Charcoal

The Subjects We'll Cover
You'll be drawing a wide variety of subjects throughout the Draw Awesome syllabus - from simpler still life to challenging portraits! Here are the main categories.
Still Life
You'll be drawing a range of still life subjects - both traditional and modern.
Animals
Animals are another subject matter we cover in a number of Draw Awesome projects.
Landscapes
You'll also be drawing landscapes, seascapes and elements from the natural world.
Urban
Urban subjects include things like street scenes, buildings and architecture.
Portraits
Faces and facial features play an important role in the Draw Awesome syllabus.
Figures
And we'll also be doing some human figure drawing together too, looking at simple ways to master proportions!
The Styles You'll Master
We'll cover a range of styles throughout our Draw Awesome projects - all underpinned by solid proportions, shapes, light and shadow.
Traditional Style
This is the most realistic style we'll cover, without it being photo-realistic (which can be very time-consuming). We'll carefully observe lights and shadows to create nice shading, and we'll allow pencil/pen marks to show through to retain energy and character!
* Images are for illustration only and not necessarily what we cover in projects.

Sketchy Style
This is a looser and freer style that is quicker than traditional shading and drawing. It's perfect for more complex subjects where we spend more time on things like proportion and shape. It's also a style that's "in vogue" and universally appreciated!
* Images are for illustration only and not necessarily what we cover in projects.
Enroll TodayQuirky Style
We'll occasionally throw in a less traditional and more graphical style when the subject benefits from it. Colours will be vivid, mark-making expressive and the outcome... lots of fun!

Your Instructor
Hi there, I'm Phil and if you join me, I'll be taking you through the Draw Awesome projects.
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 little bit about my background...
I'm a self-taught artist and I've had the opportunity to teach quite a lot of students over the last 10 years, through various online courses.
I'm from the city of Liverpool in the UK but I use my posh telephone voice on the videos, so you should be able to understand me okay!
Faces are my favourite thing to draw (especially of family and friends), but by no means the only thing I draw. If you'd like to see some of my artwork, click or tap here.
