Zero to Sixty Sketchbook School
A drawing course for artists on the go.
Zero to Sixty helps aspiring artists learn the drawing skills that matter most so they can draw daily life with more confidence and less guesswork.
Program Starts May 12, 2026
Course Duration: 5 weeks
Why Zero to Sixty?
Most artists share a common stumbling block: the blank page.
How do you start?
Thousands of free tutorials can offer isolated techniques, but they rarely show you how to use them together in an integrated process. This is why even passionate artists feel overwhelmed in the moment and put their sketchbooks away for months.
Zero to Sixty is an online drawing course that clarifies how to draw on the go using lessons from illustration, cinema, and design. Through weekly meetings, structured assignments, and 1-on-1 feedback, you’ll develop a playbook for drawing everyday life with more clarity and confidence.
