2 Free Coloured Pencil Draw Alongs to Kickstart a Creative New Year

I’m determined to make 2024 a year full of creativity for not only me but those around me! Being creative is such an amazing way to relax your mind, transport you away from the stresses of everyday life, and give yourself a little bit of you time. So here are two free coloured pencil tutorials to help you kickstart your creative year!

Draw a Realistic Robin:

If you’re looking to learn some new techniques for drawing life-like portraits, this tutorial is for you! I share why you should be focusing on adding light and dark values to your drawings, instead of focusing on lots of details and share my tips on how to draw those fabulous and vibrant chest feathers!

Draw a Life-like Deer:

In this tutorial, I share how you can create a realistic drawing in a short time and with only minimal pencils by not diving into all the little details but instead using your pencils to create and focus on the highlights and values in your drawing! The best part is you’ll learn transferable techniques and skills that you can take away with you into this year and use in your future drawings.
