The Story Behind Draw Around The World
For a long time I have had a vision of creating a place where I can put over 15 years of teaching skills to good use to help people on their art journey. As well as having a passion for teaching, colour pencils and drawing, I love exploring and learning about different locations and all that they hold.
My aim with this group is to teach people, giving them the knowledge and skillset to learn how to draw animals, nature and places from around the world with colour pencils and other drawing media. Travel isn't always easy and I'm sure many of us couldn't just pack up on a whim and travel wherever we want to see animals and nature in far flung places. So the next best thing is to incorporate it into my drawing from the comfort of my studio. And so that is how my idea for Draw Around The World In Colour Pencils began!

I am a qualified teacher, with over 15 years of experience of teaching children before making the move to become a full time professional artist in 2016. Some of my achievements include being shortlisted for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year 2015 and Artist of the Year 2016. I have also won a couple of art competitions and had my drawings included in exhibitions such as at the Mall Galleries in London. I love teaching and helping people to learn and develop their colour pencils skills. So come and join me at Izzy's School Of Art and let me show you how!
What People Are Saying About My Tutorials And Courses
"I first saw Izzys work on You tube and when I saw she was doing a course on drawing a tiger I just had to join .
I was not disappointed the course is jam packed with information, starting off with the basic information to get you started, with all materials downloadable. After each study you get feedback from Izzy which is super helpful . Izzy is an amazing teacher and has put so much time into creating this course. I have really enjoyed doing this course and have seen a great improvement in my drawing and would highly recommend it."
— Lorna Davidson
OMGG! You are amazing 'live'! Your intro was just on point utterly down to earth and just so welcoming x
— Scott Sneddon
"Izzy has done an excellent job building a course that explains the necessary knowledge when drawing in coloured pencils! When learning a medium such as coloured pencil, I find it essential to understand the layering process and Izzy not only explains it but it is all in real-time so you can watch the techniques put to work. She explains why she is doing what she is doing, as she does it! The format is great because you start with each individual subject and work up to drawing a full tiger with background. I learn better this way by focusing on different aspects then putting them together. Very excited to learn how to draw tigers and improve my knowledge."

FAQs

I predominantly use Caran D'ache Luminance and Derwent Lightfast with the odd Prismacolor, Pablo and Polychromos thrown in for good measure! You will obviously need a few different colours to get you started, but you do not have to use the exact same brands or colours of pencils as me. You can use whatever pencils you already have and just choose the closest colour you have to what I am using. If you are stuck anytime in knowing what to use from your collection, then I am happy to help. Occasionally I will recommend using a particular brand of a pencil (such as white Luminance or Museum Aqaurelle) for a particular technique.

I mostly use Stonehenge and Hahnemühle Nostalgie. For black paper I use Canson Mi Teintes or Fabriano Black Black. Don't worry if you don't have the exact same papers as I do, as long as yours has a similar finish. Mostly I use paper with a vellum finish or a slight texture. This year we are exploring other surfaces such as Pastelmat and Hot Pressed water colour paper.
-
The most common tools that I use with my colour pencils are the Tombow Mono eraser, a slice cutter, blu-tac or putty rubber and an electric eraser. I also sometimes use embossing tools and liquid white pencil. Don't worry if you do not have all these tools, you can always pick and choose which you would like to add to your collection with time. There may be times that we look at mixing other drawing media with the colour pencils, such as graphite and pastels. If this is the case, then I will try and keep them to a minimum and use them in other projects.
