Introducing the...

Perfectionist Playbook

A simple, pressure-free way to quiet your inner critic and start drawing again.

This is not about fixing your art.

It’s about releasing the weight that stops you from starting.

Perfectionism has a sneaky way of showing up.

It whispers “not yet,”

turns blank pages into pressure,

and makes drawing feel more like judgment than joy.


Especially when you’re motivated.

Especially when you want to create.


The Perfectionist Playbook was created to help you notice that voice, soften its grip, and move your pencil anyway.


No forcing.

No fixing.

Just permission to begin again.

Let me guess...

You love to draw and are good at it.

BUT you've never actually been taught the key building blocks that make drawing effortless.


Your sketchbook is a constant companion, and you're full of ideas about what you want to draw and create.

You're ready to refine your practice. You have some of the skills to get you there but know you have gaps. 

You want guidance so that you can produce consistent drawings every time you pick up a pencil.

You don’t need hand-holding, but you crave structure that matches your ambition and provides you with a roadmap of steps to follow so that you can learn all you need to know to take you to your next creative level.

You wish you had a clear path to mastery, smart strategies, and expert feedback that helps you sharpen your skills and develop a distinct style.

This is about focus, consistency, and elevating your work, turning daily habits into lasting creative momentum.

You're not starting over, you're building on what works and learning how to create drawings better than the last.

With curiosity, and the right framework, you're ready to move forward, evolve your practice, and draw with true confidence.

If this sounds like you, this is why I created the Drawing Coaching Academy. 

Inside The Perfectionist Playbook, you’ll get:

• Quick, low-pressure exercises to help you start when your inner critic shows up

• Mini drawing challenges designed to release perfectionism while building confidence

• Simple guidance for building momentum through small, repeatable actions

• A live drawing session with Emily focused entirely on working through perfectionism in real time

• Full replay access so you can watch, rewatch, and draw along on your own schedule

This is a small but powerful bundle you can return to anytime perfectionism starts running the show.

Join Emily as she draws live and talks honestly about how perfectionism shows up in her own practice.

You’ll see:

• How hesitation shows up mid-drawing

• What it looks like to keep going without overthinking

• How to release pressure in the moment instead of stopping


You can draw along, observe quietly, or simply absorb.

And if you can’t make it live, the replay is included.

The Perfectionist Playbook is for you if:

• You feel motivated to draw but struggle to actually start
• Perfectionism makes your sketchbook feel heavy or intimidating
• You overthink before the pencil even hits the page
• You want to enjoy drawing again instead of judging every mark
• You’re tired of waiting to feel “ready”

This is especially supportive if you’re self-driven, thoughtful, and quietly hard on yourself.
I created this Drawing Coaching Academy after starting my own drawing process in 2019. 

It gave structure to my creative chaos and clarity to my process, taking me from second-guessing my abilities to confidently showing up for my art.

I designed this to mirror what I wish I’d had when I started: a step-by-step system that removes the guesswork, the overwhelm, and the “am I even good enough?” mindset.

Instead of getting lost in an endless scroll of inspiration and comparison, it helped me uncover my creative voice and what truly inspires me.

With a personalised, done-for-you framework that adapts to you, you’ll build momentum, not burnout.

You’ll start making work that feels like yours, not someone else's idea of what art should be.

This is your foundation and from here, we grow together.

Give yourself permission.

Move your pencil.
Build momentum.
Let drawing feel like drawing again.

Approach To Learning!

"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 thoroughly grounded and inspired to go
draw!"

Your enthusiasm is infectious!

For someone like me who basically was made to feel I couldn’t draw (and I was pretty terrible) during school years many years ago (I am now officially a State Pensioner and retired), your approach is truly inspirational.

You have given me the mindset that I can draw, and it can only get better with practice. Thank you so much.

Paula
"I have gotten so much value out of these classes, Emily. I feel like you have changed my life because I really thought I would always suck at drawing but even I can see that while I am not as advanced as I want to be, I have improved.

And if I keep going, I will get better still. I still have a ton of learning to do – especially where adding color is concerned – but I am inspired by the beautiful drawings you create and how you color them, and I am striving for that. Thank you for all the encouragement you’ve given in the live sessions its changed so much for me!"

I personally cannot wait to guide you over this 3 month course and to get to know you. All the resources will be yours to keep to come back to time and time again..

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! 
Write your awesome label here.
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 filling your sketchbook and drawing 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!
