Draw With Me — quiet, timed drawing sessions

This is not an instructional stream. I’m drawing quietly, using a simple work/break timer.

You’re very welcome to draw alongside me and follow the same timings if that helps your concentration. I find it easier to focus when other people are also quietly working nearby. This stream is an attempt to recreate that — a simple “I’ll do what he’s doing” structure for getting started and staying with the work.

The drawing in these sessions usually involves a mix of studying referenced objects and drawing from memory or imagination — a bit of everything. The goal is to learn things and retain new information, rather than make finished or polished work for others. It’s very much a personal process.

A note about the format:

I usually work in 50-minute drawing sessions with short breaks in between (often around 3 × 50 minutes total, though this can vary). In my experience, that’s already enough time to make steady progress.

During the 50-minute drawing sessions, I don’t talk or respond to questions — unless there’s some kind of emergency. The point is shared focus, and I want to protect that for everyone watching.

In the final 10 minutes of the stream, I’ll turn the microphone on, or type responses where possible to the chat.

Anyway, I wish you a focused session!

Final Note:

TheBook - a few people have asked:

My new book on drawing and clothing characters, along with a workbook that accompanies it, is out on February 19th.

If you’d like to support the work, pre-ordering on Amazon would be amazing. It helps the algorithm on there. Cheers!
