Here's a little more information about my Patreon and it's different Tiers!

Drawing Club Tier: £5 per month:
1-3 Tutorials a Month, Plus Bi-Monthly Zooms & Replays.
Want to learn to draw?
This is the perfect tier for anyone who wants to get started with illustration, or who already illustrates but wants to extend their repertoire or try a new approach to subjects. Perfect for all ages and abilities!

If you’re a complete beginner and here to learn from my tier 2 “how to draw” videos, I recommend starting back at the beginning (seals) and working your way up, as I talk a lot about mark making and really simplifying things, and then start to make things a bit more complex as time goes on, so you can progress 😊 You will quickly have a sketchbook FULL of beautiful illustrations that you can show your friends and family (and growing Instagram following!)

Advanced illustration Tier: £9 per Month:

1 Video + Extra Bonus Bits/Drawing inspiration Every Month, PLUS Everything on the Below Tier.
Join this creative crew of budding artists and seasoned pros! It’s the perfect level up from the illustration club tier, or an ideal place to hone your skills if you are a more advanced illustrator. When you choose to join this tier, you will have access to a whole library of videos!

This tier will contain a mixture of more in depth tutorials about how to use specific materials as well as showcasing an insight into my working practise and sketchbooks. If you love art and illustration, and already do it in your spare (or full!) time, then this tier is for you!

Children's Book & Professional Practice Tier: £15 per Month:

1 Post/Video a Month + Bonus Bits, PLUS Everything on the Below Tiers.
This is the ultimate tier for those illustrators among you, who want to take your children's book illustrations, and/or business to the next level!
As you may know, I have been a freelance illustrator for the last 10 years, illustrating numerous children's books for publishers all over the world, as well as maps, branding & products, and also running my own website & Etsy shops and wholesale business.
There will be a mixture of bite sized tutorials, sharing tips and tricks, advice and knowledge on this tier, but it isn't going to be as tutorial lead as the lower tiers, as I want to share my knowledge and advice as a starting point for you to take onto your own journey 😊 However, it's going to be PACKED with super useful information and inspiration for you guys, as well as the occasional tutorial!!

I hope you enjoy it!
