Join me live this Wednesday (bring a pencil)

TLDR - join me in an experiment this Wednesday at 3pm BST
(live drawing timer group session)

Yesterday we broke a new record 😍

+91 new signups on drawingtimer.com ​

This brings the current total to 1,246 people having created a free account.

And collectively we've drawn for 1101h 6m ... thats almost 46 DAYS of total drawing hours. And I've only been tracking for 30 days!!

To celebrate this milestone I've built a very special feature :)

I call it:

"Live with Massa"

☝️ I've tested it and it _should_ work well...

So what is it exactly?

It's a live drawing session, but built right inside DrawingTimer.

At 3pm, everyone who joins the invite here will be on a call with me, where I'll give you access to the live session.

You just need to be logged into your account.

Everyone will see the same session settings that I have prepared for us all, and we will all be presented with the same references, at the same time, from a board of my choosing :)

We open with a short warm up.

Then we'll move into the core practice, longer rounds, with a bit more depth.

We will also have our own "private gallery" feature (which I'm very proud of!)

When and how to join

πŸ“… Wednesday, 3pm BST
🎟️ Free, everyone welcome

The invite description says it all:

This is the first ever Live Practice Session on DrawingTimer:

same references, same timer, all of us drawing together in real time.

We'll warm up with short rounds to get loose, then move into a longer core practice block. The session will focus on a specific set of poses that I curated personally :)

No pressure to be fast or good. Just show up and draw alongside everyone else.

In my opinion:

Showing up and drawing at the same time as everyone else does something to your practice that drawing alone never will.

But let's see how it goes!

Have a strong week

P.s.

I also just received the artbook of Ramon Nunez - from his Kickstart I supported last year. Super stoked, he is one of my favorite contemporary artists

πŸ“… 10-03-26 In this email I share an idea I had for a cool accountability system/tool I might add to the drawing-from-imagination course I’m building Yesterday I had a long call with another creator in my space - Tieran, from Broken Draw. It was supposed to be a quick catchup, but we ended up talking for over three hours ! <3 ( Turns out he’s also a reader of this newsletter which made me blush 😊 ) If you don't know Tieran, he is a very dedicated artist who got pretty skilled at drawing from...
