What we’re about
Calling all aspiring illustrators. Whether you're building a children's illustration portfolio or just want to stay creative with weekly prompts, come draw with us.
We meet online every week on Google Meet for one hour of focused drawing time. Each month, we use one image from classic children’s illustration as a springboard for creating something new, in your own voice and style. Weekly prompts based on that image help spark ideas, encourage exploration, and keep creativity flowing.
🖍️ How it works:
A monthly image from a classic children’s illustration anchors your work. Example: An image from 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' → your month-long project might be:
– A tea party scene
– A custom-designed tea set
– A tiger illustration
or any other idea it inspires!
Weekly prompts to warm up, experiment, or build toward a portfolio piece. Example:
- Draw a tiger
- Design a teapot
- Illustrate your favourite hot drink
One-hour sessions
– 10 min: Hello + warm-up prompt
– 45 min: Drawing time
– 5 min: Optional sharing + goodbyes
👋 Good to know: This is a peer-led group—I’m not a teacher, just an illustrator working on my own portfolio. All styles and skill levels are welcome. While prompts are inspired by children's illustration, your artwork doesn’t have to be. Just keep it PG-rated and respectful. Join in to explore new ideas, and draw with gentle accountability.
✅ DOs:
– Be kind to yourself and others
– Focus on progress, not perfection
🚫 DON’Ts:
– Copy others’ work
– Share distressing or non–PG content
– Promote products or services—we keep the hour focused on art
Whether you're sketching digitally or with crayons and paper, come join a welcoming space to stay creative and consistent.
