I'm a self-taught artist specializing in colored and graphite pencil work, as well as acrylic painting. I've been drawing actively, posting my artwork, and teaching people to draw worldwide since 2014. Many of my original drawings hang on walls around the world, and it's been an incredible journey knowing that my art inspires and motivates people every day.
My goal has always been to create drawings that look like photographs as much as possible, which led me to develop my signature style of photorealism. I record and narrate my drawing videos, sharing time-lapse sped-up videos on social media and real-time narrated videos at Colored Pencil Tutor - a paid membership platform where I offer drawing tutorials and guidance. With a growing community of members and tutorials, I’m thrilled to share my style and experience with the many people who have joined us so far and improved their drawings.
If you have any questions or require assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I’m also the founder of PenPick and GriDraw, two brands featuring applications that help artists achieve their goals. GriDraw assists in preparing reference photos for drawing using the grid method. I even offer the Free Grid Drawing Tool, so feel free to use it to place grids over your photos.
PenPick is a web application where users can upload their reference photos, and the app suggests which pencil to use for each selected area. I developed PenPick for colored pencils, graphite, markers, and pastels. Watch the video below, where I demonstrate how to use the PenPick Colored Pencils app to select the right pencil for my drawing.
