Learn to Draw Ugly (on Purpose)

You don’t need to be “born an artist” to make weird art that you love

When I first started drawing, I thought I needed fancy tools, expensive programs, and some kind of secret gift. Spoiler: I didn’t.

All you really need is curiosity, patience, and a willingness to get weird.

My kind of drawing isn’t about perfect anatomy or pretty faces, it’s about exaggerating what makes a character interesting. Big noses, crooked teeth, eye bags for days, that’s where the fun begins.

That’s why I made this course. I’ll show you exactly how I take a simple idea and turn it into a quirky, expressive character; from rough sketch to finished piece.

You’ll learn how to build confidence, mess around with proportions, and find your own “oogly” rhythm along the way.

By the end, you won’t just be drawing; you’ll be celebrating the odd, imperfect, and unapologetically you kind of art.

This course is divided into 5 modules, with 4+ hours of guided lessons and hands-on practice. You’ll get full-length digital drawing tutorials you can pause, replay, and follow at your own pace. No rushing. No pressure.

When you enroll, you’ll get immediate access to the first two modules, where we focus on the most important foundation: learning how to see differently. We’ll start by noticing proportions, gestures, and playful details hiding inside reference images. This is where everything begins, and where most students feel a big shift right away.

From there, the remaining modules will be released soon and added directly to your account. You don’t need to do anything extra, and there’s no additional cost. You’ll automatically unlock each module as it becomes available.

The lessons flow step by step, and for the smoothest and least stressful experience, I recommend going through the course in order. Each lesson builds on the last, slowly, intentionally, and with plenty of room to experiment and play.

The content is beginner-friendly and welcoming, whether you’re a teen, an adult, or someone who hasn’t drawn seriously in years. This is a low-pressure space to explore, make mistakes, and bring weird ideas to life.

All you really need is a little time, some curiosity, and a willingness to practice. Progress happens one sketch, one line, and one weirdly wonderful character at a time. And I’ll be right here, cheering you on the whole way.

This course is all about helping you grow your drawing skills while actually having fun; no pressure, no rules, just a space to get weird and creative. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your ideas start to come to life.

All lessons are in full HD, with adjustable speed and quality so you can go at your own pace. I’ll show you step by step how to turn simple references into quirky, expressive characters, with plenty of visual examples and demos along the way.

Follow along, ask questions, and connect with other students in the comments or group. We’ll cover everything from the basics (sketching and digital tools) to designing characters with playful proportions, funny expressions, and textured details, finishing with a polished piece you’ll actually want to show off.

This course makes drawing approachable, fun, and rewarding, giving you the confidence to create characters that are totally oogly and uniquely yours.
