Part 22 of 22: These are drawings done by two different middle school students who completed my foundations in drawing with the LZM Studio Drawing Method & continued to practice on their own. These kids are ages 10-14. Imagine what you could draw if you learn the same materials? I'm ready whenever you want to take the plunge! LZMstudio.com to sign up for my affordable online courses or private lessons.

Part 21 of 22: LZM Studio offers 1 on 1 private drawing lessons for students ages 8 & up.

Part 20 of 22: My favorite thing about teaching drawing is that if you really absorb the foundations of how to draw, those skills are yours for life.

Part 19 of 22: If you'd like to see what kind of results you can expect as one of my drawing students, I'm glad you're here! One of my favorite things to share is how much drawing progress people can make in such a short amount of time. I love bursting the myth that drawing is something you've got or not. It is teachable. It is learnable. And your results could be this good!

Part 18 of 22: If you want to learn my method I have online courses that are really affordable & private lessons if you want more high touch service that is specifically geared to your strengths & weaknesses. I work in person & via Zoom with people all over the world. I've taught fashion CEO's, parent/child pairs on a yak farm in the arctic circle & more. I love meeting my students where they are & gently nurturing them into the artists they want to be.

Part 17 of 22: Everyone learns drawing at their own pace, but you're not going to need me forever! My goal is to teach you the basics, help you practice until it becomes second nature for you, then launch you out of the nest so you go find your own style & voice as an artist. I'll always love it when you drop me a note to say, look how far I've come. But my goal is to turn you into a competant, confident draw-er & then you go create what you create!

Part 16 of 22: In the LZM Studio Drawing Method I lay out all the tricks I had to teach myself & put together to make sure my students would also learn & grow. No stone is left unturned, & when you're done you will have a broad exposure to drawing fundamentals. I teach about the materials you need, your body posture, how to combine seeing, perception, thinking about 3D space & the tricks you need to flatten that onto the drawing paper. You'll also get into the nittygritty details that really make a drawing sing with realism. The only thing that will be left for you to do is practice, practice, practice until the material I teach you is second nature.

Part 15 of 22: Teaching kids was the breakthrough I needed as a new teacher. Since no one really taught me drawing in art school, I had to learn how to teach it as a graduate student. But those students were in art school already, so they had some natural aptitude. When I started teaching kids, they would literally melt down if they didn't understand something I was showing them! So I had to show them, verbally explain what I was doing, & encourage them to try even if they failed. I'll never forget the time a 6 year old struggled to draw something 4-5 times & when they finally got it right, leaned over & kissed me on the shoulder in joy!
