"I loved it so much!"
I loved it so much! It's short, crammed in a good sense of the word, analytical, thought out. Best part for me was the structure of the course and that you touched upon how to sketch hands and eyes, those basics were really helpful. Thank you for the inspiration. (Alessia)
Do you relate to this?
- You try to sketch people but they never look right.
- Someone once told you you'd never be any good at art.
- You don’t know where to start, people keep moving before you finish, you wish you could sketch them quickly and every sketch attempt ends up in the bin.
- You see other people sketching with ease, turning a few lines into a person, and you wish you could do that.
- Or maybe you know how to draw but it's too tight and you want to know how to loosen up.
In the course you'll learn how to:
-
See shapes
-
Create depth
-
Loosen up
...and so much more!
Let me show you how
I will be your sketching guide giving you tools and techniques through videos, exercises and plenty of encouragement.
I've been sketching people for over three decades and I just love it. While it came naturally to me, I could also see that, with a shift of thinking and seeing, it was something that could be taught and so this course was born.
It is packed with value, big concepts and little gems and will give you the know-how needed to sketch people confidently and in your own style.
"Sonya is such a brilliant teacher"
...her videos give the detail so simply and with such humour. If you want to learn how to draw, or hone existing skills, honestly, this will be the course for you...it's possibly the best £49 you'll ever spend in your life! (Emma)
Imagine
- Sitting in your favourite cafe with a coffee and sketchbook, sketching someone over the other side of the room lost in a book while you get lost in the scribbles. (Don't let your coffee get cold).
- At home with a precious 20 minutes, and sketching your child watching telly on the sofa (you know they won't move).
- A sunny day on holiday, an empty bench calling you, time to whip out your sketchbook and capture some memories.
- On a train journey, instead of staring out of the window, why not turn it into a creative time and sketch the commuters. They won't notice, they haven't found this course yet so they're just staring out of the window.
"Accessible and achievable"
Sonya breaks it all down so clearly and simply with bite-sized lessons and small homework tasks. She does it all with good humour and a sense of fun making learning to draw accessible and achievable. I am loving the process and really recommend this course if you fancy learning something new and especially if you think you can't draw.(Sally)
"The mix of teaching with practice works really well"
How to Sketch People has been a lesson in the art of the possible. When I started the course I didn’t believe I could draw. The lessons flow perfectly, and the mix of teaching with practice works really well. My first sketch was laugh-out-loud awful, but, by the end of your course, I completely surprised myself and sketched something really rather good. I sketch people all the time now. I would recommend it to anyone – if you draw/paint and want to try new things/see things differently, or if you are new to sketching. Oh, and it’s great fun! (Sam)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I buy it?

Do I have to do this in a certain time?
No you're completely free to take as little or as long as you want.
What materials do I need?
Any paper and any pencil will do. A sketchbook is brilliant to have and softer pencils (eg B or 2B) are great for shading but it's not a problem if you don't have them. Just get a pencil or pen from the kitchen drawer!
Can I do this in pen?
Yes absolutely. Some shading techniques are a little different with pencils and pens and I cover that.
