Thank you, Bethanie! I'm so glad you're here and appreciate your wonderful words.🥰
I have a guest artist cohosting a session with me on October 1 where we'll do a bit of portrait practice. That's an area I'd love to improve upon as well!
My favorite things to draw (lately): dogs, primates, lions, humans
I'd love to improve: drawing rooms and landscapes. Also drawing tone! I can always learn more about mixing colors and human faces. Trees. Flowers. Birds. Dinosaurs. Basically anything that isn't in the first list. 😄
Thank you, Lisa! You were my first-ever paid subscriber. And the only one for a long time! I need to have a whole drawing session in your honor! 💖 We could draw all your favorite things and photos!
Ahhhhh! That’s so great - and you’ve totally earned that spotlight. Congrats, Beth!
I like drawing monsters, noodle armed kids, and teapots. I’d like to get better at drawing trees, soft backgrounds, and people at extreme angles. You can find me on substack or my website ginaperry.com
Congratulations on being featured! I followed a bunch of writers this evening off the back of a Substack email so that assume that’s how I found you.
I love drawing faces. No matter whatever else I explore, it always come back to faces and once I do that I generally lose interest in anything else.
I’d love to be able to have the patience to flesh out work to tell a story. Focus less on the face, and more on the ‘scene’. I’ve worked in the design industry for almost 30 years, so breaking the habit of working quick for immediate results is really really hard.

Hi Martin! Thanks for the kind words and subscribing. Your faces are incredible! I just followed you on Instagram and was amazed by all the fun characters I found there.
Scenes and environments were tricky for me for a long while, but I've learned to really love it. Hope to draw with you soon!
I’m on the U.S., Central Time Zone. I always post as a link using a special link, so you can see it in your own time zone and register to receive the invite reminder. Thanks for asking!
Thank you, Janet! 🥰 I love seeing the ways you capture a person’s face on a page. It’s so inspiring and makes me want to practice faces! And the way you use colors lately makes my heart skip a beat. Omg cars are so hard. 🤣 Have you tried blocking in the car frame shape with color, then adding details? Drawing negative space around a car helped me in Katie’s session last week!
Thank you, Beth! And great advice about cars—I think I need to draw more of them at different angles until they stop making my brain hurt. 😂 I also just noticed that Emma and Sarah drew some cars together so I’m going to draw along and see if I can pick up some more tips.
The Sarah and Emma video is SO GOOD and has some awesome references too! I think it’d be fun to do a whole session where we put down negative space of all the images, then go back through and draw the subjects. Maybe I’ll give it a test drive before I ask you to do it in a session! 😄🚕
That’s a great idea about the negative space! I did that with the yearbook session and really enjoyed it. And I’m so happy to hear that the Sarah and Emma video is a winner and I’m going to try it this week!
I don’t draw much -- I’m more of a painter, and I veer towards whimsical faces, figurative art, and abstraction. I do want to improve my very rusty and highly underused drawing skills, though, including botanicals, especially flowers. And if I can get the hang of painting them, I’ll be floating in the clouds!
Hi I’m Adam Ming, and I love drawing shapes, lines and messy textures, most subjects are an excuse for me to do just that.
The thing I want to improve is using colour, especially for print. I love painting neutral browns, but they don’t show up well in print, so I need to find some colors and adapt
Thanks, Adam! I’d love to host a session where we focus on color palettes. Mixing colors is my favorite thing! I’m also a big fan of brown. I think maybe my dogs and love of chocolate influences that!
A big Congratulations on being featured Beth you deserve it!!
My Favourite things to draw : Humans, boats ,seas, trees.
I would love to improve : Animals, birds and some more animals. I love animals and I do observe them a lot from life, images and videos but recently I noticed that I only drew them during hosted drawing sessions and not by myself. So I would love to draw more animals and turn them into characters.
Hi Beth, huge congratulations on being featured, I enjoy reading your process and seeing the zoo pics.
I am Rekha, and I really enjoy drawing people,animals, trees, foliage, and nature. I love textures and scribbly look and though I work digitally for all my client works, sketchbooks is what keeps me sane and always fresh and refreshed.
What I don't enjoy drawing are cities, horror stuff, pirates and robots.
Thank you, Rehka! I’m looking forward to getting back to animal drawings next month and promise no robot pirates. So happy you’re here and love your work! 😄
Hi friend, congratulations on this milestone! Your dedication, enthusiasm, and cool ideas have paid off, it is amazing to see all of your achievements in real-time ;) I love how your newsletter gives us all also a sense of community, thanks for being an inspiration.
I am Citla and I love drawing flowers, animals, landscapes.

Beth, whereabouts are you based. I’m wondering as I’m in the UK what time if the day your love drawing sessions usually take place for me.
I’m on the U.S., Central Time Zone. I always post as a link using a special link, so you can see it in your own time zone and register to receive the invite reminder. Thanks for asking!
Congratulations, Beth! Your drawing club is one of my favorites and I’m trying to work my way through the replays.
I like to draw pretty much anything (except cars) but I am partial to portraits.
I want to get better at drawing cars (why are they so hard!) and simplifying complex scenes.
