It’s fair to say my first online drawing lesson didnt quite go to plan. I’d been running a solid art school from my studio for years, but this was my first go at teaching online - and it showed. I forgot to pin my camera on Zoom, had a webcam taped to a clothes rail balanced on my desk for the top-down shot, and I was sat in the brightest corner of my lounge because I didnt have proper lighting. But I’ve never been the type to wait until I’ve got it all figured out. I’d rather just crack on and learn as I go. You’ll still find that first-ever lesson sitting here in the archive. It’s a bit of a mess, but I kept it to show how far we’ve come — and to remind you that starting messy is better than not starting at all.
We drew a character called Skullbot who has become a recurring theme in the Korp Academy over the years.

Wanna see where it all started? The dodgy tech setup, the total chaos of that first tutorial? You’ll need to be a Premium member to get access to that kind of behind-the-scenes embarrassment I’d rather keep hidden.
