Challenge Lessons

How Does it work? 

All you need is 30 - 50 minutes per mini lesson. Set aside the time needed to join Emily LIVE or in your own time every day to watch the video and continue learning how to approach building your drawing practice. 

Each day comes with its own resources - images to download and work from as well as the scriptures associated to it.

No overwhelm. No self criticism when you produce mistakes. Staying in control of the time you know you have available to draw. Using the basic principles as our foundational guide, Emily sets out a variety of approaches including the use of contour, negative and positive space, tone and shade. as well as perspective and proportion across a varied range of tree imagery.

As part of these sessions Emily also explores the influential biblical narratives that have inspired and shaped her own personal drawing journey!

You're welcome to also add your drawing imagery to the community pages inside this learning platform as well as see what other students have shared as part of their learning journey. 

  • 1/2+ hour Videos for 10 sessions.

Patrick Jones - Course author
"I have been part of the sketchbook Bible course since it launched last year and found it has added another creative level to my artwork. Instead of just drawing from a photo I am also learning how to develop my creativity by studying & illustrating a text, in this case Scripture. It has added another creative dimension to what I do by combining two subjects that I love, namely drawing and God’s Word. But it goes beyond that into other areas of life too, because in the Sketchbook Bible Academy, Emily is there to guide & mentor me 1:1 as I progress." Joy H
