hi, I’m Marnie!

Learn to draw the things you love, right on your iPad.

I’m an illustrator in Margate, and I teach grown-up beginners to draw with bite-sized video courses, a Sunday newsletter and live draw-alongs. No talent required: just a stylus and a bit of curiosity.

The course I wish I’d had. We start with the iPad itself, build every drawing from simple shapes, add colour that works and finish with a scene that is all yours.

  • Your pet as a character
  • A little shop front
  • A sketchbook of 30 objects

What students say

“I bought an iPad for drawing and then never drew. Three weeks in I had a sketchbook full of mugs, plants and my very judgemental cat.”
Hettie M., Whitby
“Marnie explains layers better than any video I’ve watched. Short lessons, no waffle, and the projects actually look good.”
Faisal K., Luton
“The live workshops are my favourite Saturday plan. Tea, drawing and sixty strangers cheering each other on.”
Lottie P., Durham
