Hi, I’m Jack.


I am a self-taught artist and the creator of the Let's Draw Today Club!

My experience as a first-grade teacher has taught me the value of breaking big concepts down into small, learnable steps. That is the same approach I bring to my drawing tutorials.

Whether you are a beginner or you have a bit more drawing experience, it is my goal to make helpful, step-by-step drawing tutorial videos and courses that will allow you to easily follow along, create beautiful drawings, and build your confidence in your skills and abilities to draw things you never thought you could draw before.

I look forward to sharing my passion for drawing with you here in the Let's Draw Today Club!

Set Up the Grid

Begin by learning how to use Photoshop and Word to make your own grids for the reference photograph and drawing paper.

Begin Drawing the Face

Next, see how to draw the outline of the face, the neck, and the details of the face around the mouth.

Draw the Lips and Teeth

Then, discover how to draw the top and bottom lip, add details to the lips, and how to properly draw all of the teeth.

Shade One Side of the Face

After that, draw along with me as I apply tones, blend the tones, and layer additional details on one side of the face and neck.

Shade the Upper Lip

Next, learn how to shade and add layers of tone and detail to the upper lip for a realistic look.

Shade the Teeth

Also, learn how to have highlights, midtones, and darker tones work together to enhance the realism of the gums and teeth.

In addition, use a variety of specific shading techniques to creatively complete the lower lip.

Shade the Rest of the Face

Finish up by carefully shading the chin, the other side of the face, the neck, and adding finishing touches.
