Discover the Joy of Drawing Wildlife: My New Coloured Pencil Deer Portrait Course
Hello, my lovely creatives!
I’m so excited to share something very special with you today—my brand-new Wildlife Portrait Course using coloured pencils! This course is designed to help you create a beautiful and realistic deer portrait, step by step. Whether you’re new to coloured pencils or have been drawing for years, this course is the perfect way to improve your skills and explore the magic of wildlife art.
What’s This Course About?
In this course, we’ll focus on drawing a majestic deer portrait from start to finish. I’ll guide you through every stage, from sketching the initial outline to adding those final, detailed touches. You’ll learn how to blend colours, build layers, and bring your drawing to life with rich textures and contrast.
But that’s not all! I’ll also show you how to add an optional soft pastel background, which creates a soft, out-of-focus effect that really complements the detail of your drawing. It’s completely up to you whether you’d like to give this a try, or keep your background simple. Either way, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Why Coloured Pencils?
I’ve always loved using coloured pencils for my artwork—they’re such a versatile and forgiving medium. With coloured pencils, you have complete control over each stroke, and you can add as much detail as you like. The soft texture makes them perfect for realistic wildlife drawings, especially for capturing the beautiful layers of fur in our deer portrait. Plus, with a little patience and practice, the results can be absolutely stunning!
Who Is This Course For?
This course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn to draw wildlife. Whether you’re a colour pencil beginner or have some experience, the step-by-step instructions will help you feel confident as you build up your drawing. Even if you’ve never used coloured pencils before, I’ll guide you through the techniques needed to create something you’ll be proud of. And if you’re an experienced artist, you’ll love refining your skills and exploring new ways to add texture and depth to your work.
It does help if you have had a little drawing practice as this course , if you are completely new to art I would recommend starting with one of my beginner courses such as Fill your first sketchbook or the Line and Wash Painting course.

Sketching and Proportions: We’ll start with the basics of sketching out the deer, focusing on getting the placement just right.
Colour Blending and Layering: You’ll learn how to layer colours to create the warm, rich tones of the deer’s coat and capture realistic fur textures.

Optional Pastel Background: Want to add a soft, dreamy background? I’ll show you how to blend pastels to create a lovely out-of-focus effect that complements your portrait beautifully.
