Why this course
Drawing is a skill — and skills can be taught.
So many kids decide they "can't draw" by age eight. This course changes that. Each lesson walks students through the same process a real illustrator uses: breaking a subject into shapes, building structure, adding detail, and making confident decisions about what to keep.
By the end of 12 lessons, your child won't just have 12 finished drawings. They'll have a repeatable process they can use on anything they want to draw.
"Not just how to copy a picture — but how to think like an artist."

What's included
48 resources across 12 complete lessons
Every animal comes with four components — everything you need to teach and practice each lesson from start to finish.
▶️

Step-by-step guided instruction from blank page to finished cartoon. Follow along at any pace.
🌿

A second lesson placing the animal in its natural environment — trees, water, savanna, and more.
✏️
Basic drawing sheet
A printable practice guide to work alongside the video. Print as many copies as you need.
🎨
Coloring sheet
A finished line drawing ready to color. Great for younger siblings or as a relaxed follow-up activity.
That's 24 videos and 24 printable sheets — all included in one purchase, with a whole-family printing license.
Who it's for
Designed for elementary ages, open to everyone
The course is built with grades K–6 in mind. The pacing is patient, the instruction is clear, and the cartoon style keeps frustration low while building real skill. Older kids and adults new to drawing find it just as approachable.
No prior art experience needed — just a pencil, paper, and the printable sheets. Works beautifully as a standalone art elective, a co-op supplement, or a quiet afternoon activity.
How it works
Self-paced, screen-friendly, parent-approved
After purchase you'll receive instant access to all videos and printable PDFs. Watch on any device, work through the animals in any order, or follow them in sequence as a 12-week art curriculum.
One purchase covers your whole household. Print the sheets as many times as you like for every child.
Common questions
FAQ
What ages is this best for?
We designed it for elementary school ages (roughly 5–12), but it's been enjoyed by older kids and adults new to drawing as well. Younger kids (K–1) may benefit from a little parent guidance in the first couple of lessons.
What supplies do we need?
Just a pencil, eraser, and a printer for the sheets. Colored pencils or crayons are handy for the coloring sheets but not required to complete the course.
Can I print the sheets more than once?
Yes — all printable sheets are licensed for personal and homeschool family use. Print as many copies as your household needs, as many times as you like.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
One-time purchase, lifetime access. No subscriptions, no renewals, no surprises.
Do we need to do the lessons in order?
Nope! Each lesson stands on its own. Follow them in order for a structured 12-week curriculum, or let your kids pick their favorite animal and jump in anywhere.
Can I use this in a co-op or small group setting?
The course license covers your household. For co-op or classroom use with multiple families, please reach out — we're happy to discuss group pricing.
