Workouts
I had the idea of chaining drawing exercises that combined well together, and the first approach was one where you were guided through a slideshow that presented the steps in sequence. You can find the workouts here.
Podcast
I'm working on a podcast designed to be listened to while drawing. I'm still working out the right format for it. You can find episodes I made here.
Instagram Tutorial Carousels
I made tutorials for Instagram long ago. You can see a selection of my favorite ones here.
Daily Drawing Exercises
I had a slew of drawing exercises presented in a vertical format to scroll through and follow step by step. The idea was that vertical scrolling was more natural on screens as we're already used to scrolling that way. They were set up as daily exercises and sent out in a daily version of my newsletter. This overwhelmed people who were subscribed to it, so I abandoned the daily email. The exercises are still there. My views on what good drawing exercises are have evolved, but you can still find them here.
YouTube
I have a YouTube channel where I am active, on and off. You can find it here.
I share slides with forms and form studies on Pinterest. These are doing well over there: people like to pin them to their boards, and others find them. You can see my Pinterest here.
I share my sketchbook pages here on Instagram here. I share the same pages at the top of my newsletter articles. Instagram is where it all started, but I now place my main art and writing on my website.
About
Lastly, there is an about page about this website. You can find it here.
