Why a membership site?

" Learning how to draw is a lovely process. It doesn't happen in a day, it happens over months or even years, it all depends how far you want to take it. The great thing is you will keep improving with each picture you draw. Each module builds on the knowledge and experience you have gained in previous modules.

It is all about enjoying the journey as well as the artwork you produce.  This course will teach you the skills to get you started.  I feel learning to draw should be done with minimal pressure, it should be a joy.  So that is why my site is designed primarily as a Membership Site, to give you the time and flexibility to  enjoy your learning to draw journey."   Vanessa

What is Free Membership?

Free Membership is a great way to have a taste of the course. It is packed with drawing tips and demonstrations including the massive Free Drawing Course Preview (11 videos covering a range of topics like How to See Like an Artist and How Artists Use Photos) as well as all the Project Previews where you get a sneak peak at the artwork being drawn. It's a great way to try the course!

What is the difference between Full Membership and Basic Membership?

Full Membership and Basic Membership are the paid subscription options where you get access to all the modules and can start drawing! With Full Membership you also have access the the Show&Tell Community Group where you can see the work of other students and get feedback on your finished pictures from Vanessa.

Are you an independent learner and you just want to get on with it and work through the tutorials on your own?

 You possibly don't need Full Membership
 Basic Membership would be perfect for you!

Do you think you'd never go onto the Show&Tell Page, you're really not into connecting up with others online? Perhaps you don't think you'd want to ask Vanessa questions about your artwork and you'd like to keep the cost down?

 No need for Full Membership then!
 Basic Membership is the one for you!

Is the subscription for a student under the age of 18 years? 

 Full Membership is not for you, it is only available to students over 18 years.  This is for child safety reasons, due to the online community.
 Basic Membership is great for older kids!  Go to the Basic Membership Page for more info (link below)
