In this Color Club tutorial, we’re drawing a toucan-style bird using a really simple D-shape technique.
It’s a nice one to try if you want to practise colour blending without getting too precious about the drawing. Once the head and body shapes are in, the beak, tail feathers and details all star...
In this lesson we're drawing a weird chicken character using nothing but fineliner pens.
There are no pencil guidelines, no safety nets and no colouring. Just line work, texture, shading and plenty of wonky lines to build a character full of personality.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a simple fish and filling the back with a Japanese wave-style Zentangle pattern.
It’s a chilled one, using just two fineliners, and it’s great for practising repeated line work without overthinking it.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a koinobori flag using Posca pens, but without the usual black outline.
It’s a good one for playing with a limited palette, layering colours, cutting shapes back in, and adding a bit of metallic gold.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a cactus plant with a cat face mashed into it.
It’s a fun little character to try because the shapes are simple, the colours do a lot of the work, and there’s loads of room to make it your own without overthinking it.
This one proves you don’t need loads of pens to make something solid.
Three pens. That’s it.
It’s all about bold shapes, layering, and using mistakes to your advantage.
This tutorial is a light touch on 3 big techniques to master to be able to draw with Posca pens.
Blending colours
Cutting In
Layering
I also take about the 4 stages of drawing with Posca pens that help give you some structure and a process to follow.
This tutorial is from a live sessions where we draw 3 cats and practiced some blending in techniques. Use the resource sheet to help draw your cats or come up with your own versions, it's up to you.

As far as I can see this cat was AI generated by an artist called YunFan. Feels good to be an artist magpieing from AI. Have fun recreating this cat using just a handful of Posca pens.
Treat this as linework practice with a brush pen where you still get a finished drawing at the end. Its all about getting thin, fat and wonky lines with a brush pen and seeing how quick it all comes together.
