From veterinary student to professional artist...
"ha ha...but what are you actually going to do?"
this was the common response I got when I told my teachers I wanted to be an artist...
...I was studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths for A-levels. The "plan" was to go on and study veterinary science at university.
BUT from day 1, I knew this wasn't the path for me...
During the 2020 lockdown prior to starting my studies, I discovered a talent...
...I could draw, in fact I could draw VERY well!
After following cartoon tutorials on YouTube, I tried my hand at realism and something clicked!
At just 14, I completed my 1st commissioned drawing
Capturing every reflection, groove and bump one by one to form these impressive images resonated deeply with me
My goal with each piece was to push the boundary of what I thought I was capable of...
...reflecting on the successes and downfalls of my previous endeavour and taking these lessons onto my next drawing meant my skills improved rapidly!
It dawned on me that It was YouTube videos that had ignited this drawing flame inside me and felt it was only right to give back...
...on the 26th of September 2021, I created my 1st ever drawing video where I broke down my method of accurate sketching.
To date, my drawing videos have been seen by millions across YouTube, Instagram and Facebook resulting in 100k+ followers, 1,000+ prints sold worldwide and 50 bespoke pieces completed for serious collectors!
I'm also the founder of The Drawing Guild, a community where I share my unique drawing method of combining markers and coloured pencils...
...I've now helped 1000s of people create drawings they never thought they were capable of!
All of this stems from a combination of passion, hard work and a sprinkle of talent and the craziest part is...this is just the beginning
If you'd like to own a part of this journey, consider investing in one of my limited edition prints...
(as the popularity of my work increases so does the value of your investment)
From YouTube tutorials to hyperrealism (My 5 year transformation)
2019
How it began...
I'd always enjoyed doodling so when I was 14, I started following simple tutorials on YouTube
I did A LOT of these...
Early 2020
Moving to Realism
During the Pandemic,
I started to become more interested in the "realistic" side of drawing
So grabbed myself some graphite pencils...
...and created this
Late 2020
Commissions
My parents posted my work on Facebook...
one of their friends saw it and asked if I could do a couple of drawings for them!
Early 2021
Repetition
I drew pretty much everyday...
...and started to get more ambitious with the projects I took on!
Late 2021
Pet portraits
People started asking If I could draw their pets...
2022
practice, practice, practice
I continued doing commissions and slowly refined my skills piece by piece!
2023
Cars
Tried my hand at drawing cars...
...turns out I actually enjoy drawing them more than animals!
2024
Had an idea
Thought to myself:
"lots of people draw cars BUT no one has ever drawn a LEGO car!"
So I did
2025
LEGO drawings
Now spent 700+ hours drawing LEGO cars, Minifigures and even a LEGO T-Rex!
I also post regular YouTube videos in the hopes to inspire others just like I was inspired when I was 14
