Glad you're here. This is a community for people learning pencil portraiture, from complete beginners to people refining their skills. You're in at the start of this, which means it's still being built, by you as much as by me. Here's how it works: - General Discussion — post your own work, even the rough bits. Ask questions, say hello, tell us what you're working on. - Tips and Demos — posted every Tuesday (NZ time — may land a day earlier for you depending on where you are). - Critique Corner — one submitted piece looked at properly, every Friday (NZ time — same applies) from 4 September. Our first live call is 6pm Friday 11 October, NZ time, open to everyone. Btw check the calendar tab for each month's lives. 💚 If you know someone else who'd get something out of this, bring them along. Paid membership is open now at $9/month (USD), locked in for life if you join before 15 November. After that the price moves up to $19/month for new members. Paid gets you the full 12-module self-paced course and priority in Critique Corner. Please introduce yourself and tell us what you enjoy drawing most.
