Online Drawing Classes
& Animal Life Drawing

If you love drawing animals, and love Picturebook Illustration then you've come to the right place!
​
Here you'll find regular classes to keep you happy including Animal Life Drawing and a range of drawing sessions run by The Picturebook Studio, a collaboration between myself and Emma Levey.

NEW SESSIONS
are here!

Welcome to the Online Animal Life Drawing (affectionately known as the Elephant in the Room)! 

 

The Elephant in the Room brings inspiring creatures into your workspace via the magic of Zoom so you can enjoy the thrill of observational drawing with no risk of penguins running off with your pencils, or jaguars jogging your jotters! Whether you're a seasoned professional or a brand new pencil wobbler, you are invited to join these friendly & inspiring drawing sessions. 

​

Bi-monthly there will be a new 'Elephant in the Room', from Orangutans to Grizzly Bears, Elephants to Alpacas and everything in between! We work either from Live subject matter, modelling for us remotely, or from carefully curated film footage & photographs from the very best wildlife filmmakers & photographers in the business. All contributors are fairly paid for the incredible content they provide. Most sessions are unguided so you draw to your own beat, but I am onhand to answer questions and guide you were I can.

​

A passion for wildlife and a love of animals is at the heart of these classes & we collaborate with those who hold these same values. As a result, our sessions are utterly joyful and have enough feel-good factor to keep you smiling til the next time! The Elephant in the Room has donated thousands of pounds to animal & wildlife conservation organisations & charities around the world, and will continue to do for as long as people want to keep draw with us!
