Our online portrait drawing course is made up of self-contained 12-week terms, each focusing on a different aspect of portrait drawing. Each month we release a new pre-recorded lesson to Patreon so that you can follow the course as it goes, practicing from our sets of portrait reference photos, recorded portrait sittings or live Zoom events. All of the lessons are saved to our archive, so you can join the course at any time and follow at your own pace - click on the overview below for more details or have a read through the FAQ.

How much time do I need? Each lesson is less than 1 hour long with 2 hours of exercises recommended, so you'll need to set aside 3 hours per lesson. To make the most of the course, take one lesson per month and practice the ideas over the whole month before moving on to the next.
What materials do I need? The first exercises can be done with materials everybody will have at home - you'll find a full list in the overview HERE.
Can I get feedback? Yes! You can post your drawings up on our Facebook group or use the #drawbrighton hashtag to get feedback from other members of our online drawing community. You can also use our feedback system to get input on your drawings from Draw tutors.
