Korshub's take

A gentle entry point into pastel pencil art

This free course turns a stack of just nine pastel pencils into a finished portrait of a kitten. It's built around a simple premise: pastel pencils are one of the most forgiving mediums to pick up, and a small, focused toolkit is enough to produce a piece you're proud of.

An outline drawing is provided so you can trace or print it directly, removing the pressure of freehand sketching before you've built confidence with the pencils themselves. From there, step-by-step video instruction walks you through each stage in bite-sized lessons you can revisit as needed.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners and anyone new to pastel pencils will find the pace and materials list approachable, though the course is framed for all levels.

Key takeaways

How to use a minimal 9-pencil pastel set effectively
Working from a provided outline to focus on technique over drawing
A repeatable process you can apply to your own future pictures
