If you’ve ever spent hours on a drawing and still felt frustrated with the result, you’re not alone. That’s why I made the Learn My Craft Membership . I want to show you exactly how to create beautiful, realistic drawings every time.

I’m Sema Martin. I’ve been a full-time coloured pencil artist since 2016. I draw pet portraits (and lots of other things!) and teach other artists how to get the most out of this incredible medium. Inside the membership, I show you how to draw step-by-step.

Every project includes:

• Reference photos

• Easy outlines to trace

And there are new projects added every single week to keep you brimming with inspiration. You don’t have to guess anymore. Y

Why Instagram has become exhausting for artists. How the algorithm rewards trends over quality art. Why follower count no longer guarantees visibility. The pressure to constantly create reels, stories, and viral content. Feeling more like a performer than an artist. Using Instagram as a simple, curated portfolio. Posting only meaningful, on-theme content. Focusing on real connections instead of chasing growth. Exploring platforms like email lists, websites, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook. Sharing art in a way that feels enjoyable and sustainable.
