kind words by students

Emily's Students Love Her
Approach To Learning!

"The fact that I’ve nearly filled a sketchbook and 2 pencils are almost stubs, goes to show I’ve caught the bug. I have no formal art training at all, but with Emily, you gain a level of confidence and understanding that enables you to improve.
Unlike so many other courses available, she is very hands on.
I have found sketching to be so cathartic, it’s definitely the beginning of a journey for me,"
Sarah
"This is completely different to art courses I've taken before! Emily is SO approachable. I love how everything is broken down in bite size chunks. I struggle with concentrating for long periods of time so am very pleased with my progress. From live demonstrations that I can rewatch time and time again, to the resources, to a set theme each week. I feel throughly grounded and inspired to go draw!" 
Kathleen
"I can draw...Woohoo! THANK YOU so much! Not only have I loved how well thought through this course is for 30 days, but how it is only now that my journey begins. I didn't realise that I could continue jumping into the course every time Emily runs it. A big worry for me was staying motivated to continue. I cannot quite believe the value Emily offers to her community providing all these sessions. Thank you again!" 
Pam

Frequently asked questions

What level of experience do you need to do this course? 

I'm a big believer that everyone can draw. This course is aimed at anyone who is interested in exploring the basic principles of drawing. The course includes tutorials on techniques you can adapt as well as supports you discover your own style. You can be a beginner or someone more advanced looking to improve technique, get and stay motivated, as well as learn the art of sketching. 

Do I need any equipment to do this course?

All you need to get started is a sketchbook, paper and pencil. In the introductory email sent once you register I make some recommendations of the types of sketchbook and basic equipment you can start to use. You don't need to rush out and buy anything expensive. You just need a sketchbook, pencil to get started.

What if I can't make the live tutorials or finish the course? 

You can access all the materials in your own time as the course is yours to keep. There is a lot of material to get through within the course modules. It's purpose is to provide you with a support library of tools that you can keep coming back to. The live Q&As will be uploaded to the learning community for you to re-watch. You may also prefer to work through the material at a more leisurely pace and simply jump on the live sessions when you are able! Plus you can revisit and jump back any of the courses as they reopen and run again. I want to make sure you feel as if you are on a journey of learning that doesn't just end after 30 days! 

Will Emily be available and accessible to answer questions if I get stuck? 

Absolutely. You'll hopefully still be part of the Scratch to Sketch Hub. Emily spends alot of time live in her community and is happy to hear from you. You can email her or pop your question in the learning platform. Other support will be through the community engaged on the course! 

I'm based outside the UK. Is this course suitable for international students? 

Yes! Absolutely. Emily will be making her sessions available to all her audiences. All other materials related to the course can be accessed as appropriate to the time zone you are in.  

What does life-time access mean? 

Every time this course is delivered you can re-join the sessions. This means you have access to all the materials, live sessions, replays, and activity linked to the back to Basics Learn to Draw in 30 Days. It takes more than 30 days to perfect your habit and being able to jump back onto the course at any time to keep learning is a feature of the course! Anything that may be created as new content linked to the course in the future however may come at a discretional charge. 

Still Thinking About It?

You should give "Back to Basics" a 7 day risk free shot if you're motivated by any of the following:

 You're determined to carve out time in your day to being creative and need some help to do so! 

 You'd love to explore and develop a drawing habit. 

 You've always had creativity within you but never fully dedicated the time or energy to realising the extent of your creative potential! Its time to say goodbye to the negative gremlins and give this a go!

 More importantly you may have tried to get going in the past but failed! 

 PLUS...even if you feel as if you are falling behind you can re-join the course at any other time during the course life span. Many students choose to jump back on modules they want to revisit and explore further.

I personally cannot wait to guide you over this 30 day course which is yours to keep...

Keeping a daily drawing habit has literally transformed my life from how I view my world through to how I manage my well being!

I've experienced first hand what it feels like to go from not knowing how to draw to learning to motivate myself, learn new techniques, practise, and start to uncover my creative style! I'm still learning that one too! 

If you're someone who has always wanted to do this, you owe it to yourself to at least take a risk free plunge to experience the process filling a sketchbook can have on your confidence as well as well being. Just as it has done for me!

To experience firsthand the pleasure, sense of achievement, connection to your creative self, (a side to your character that you may never have fully explored before) - and to build your drawing knowledge in order to bring new depth to your day, is something I can't wait to support you do! 

Should you choose to accept my invitation, I personally guarantee these 30 days filling your sketchbook and then the Bootcamp boost will be just the start of your creative journey. 

I personally look forward to meeting each and every single one of you! 

Keep Sketching and can't wait to meet you soon!
