Finally Learn to draw with Confidence
Even if you think you have no talent!
From Stick Figures to Artist in
Easy-to-Follow Steps
A clear, step-by-step program that teaches you how to draw accurately, confidently, and realistically
✅ Weekly step-by-step lessons
✅ Guided, structured pathway to learning
✅ Learn at your own pace from home
Keep Putting Off Drawing...
And Another Year Will Pass Wondering “What If?”
Most people who want to draw never start - Not because they lack talent, but because nobody ever gave them a proper system to follow.
You deserve to express yourself creatively,
but without the right guidance, it’s easy to:
Doubt yourself and assume others are just "born with it"
Jump between random tutorials that never quite connect
Feel frustrated when drawings don’t turn out right
Watch other artists improve while you stay stuck
The problem has never been your ability.
It's that you've never been shown what to actually look for.
Drawing should feel relaxing and rewarding, not something you keep putting off until "someday."
Imagine Sitting Down to Draw...
And Actually Feeling Proud of What You Create
Inside The Drawing Accelerator Program, you’ll learn how to:
SEE LIKE AN ARTIST
Drawing is more about observation than talent. Train your eyes to understand shape, proportion, and form accurately.
DRAW WITH CONFIDENCE
Stop guessing and finally understand why drawings work.
BUILD REAL SKILLS STEP-BY-STEP
Develop strong foundations that improve both your drawing and painting.
“What If I’m Not Artistic?”
This is the biggest fear most beginners have.
People assume artists are simply born with natural talent. But after years of teaching, I can confidently say that drawing is far more about observation and understanding than talent.
Most people struggle because nobody ever showed them what to look for.
Your brain naturally simplifies the world around you. That’s useful for everyday life, but terrible for drawing accurately. Artists learn how to observe differently. Once you understand that process, drawing becomes far less mysterious.
That’s exactly what this program teaches.
You do not need:
Natural talent
Expensive supplies
Previous experience
Years of training
You simply need a clear system and consistent guidance.
The program is designed to remove overwhelm completely by teaching one skill at a time in a logical order. Each lesson builds naturally on the last, so you always know exactly what to focus on next.
And because lessons unlock weekly, you are never overloaded with information or left wondering where to begin.
Many students join believing they are “hopeless” at drawing. A few months later, they’re producing artwork they never thought possible.
Not because they suddenly became talented.
Because they finally had the right training.

This community is fun, very supportive and helpful to new students and a great way to get encouragement and feedback as you progress through the program.
OPTIONAL ATELIER UPGRADE
Get Personalized Feedback
Art Lessons Accelerator Live Calls
Once a month (usually the first Saturday of the month) I provide personalized feedback to Atelier students via a live Zoom call. No matter what stage you're at, this is your opportunity to get personalized feedback on your progress. This is an optional addition to the program to help accelerate your learning journey.
Many students have commented on how much value they get from this part of the program, and it's something that's not offered by most art tutors. This is one of the aspects that makes Murray's programs so valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. The program is specifically designed for beginners and teaches skills progressively from the ground up.
What materials do I need?
We start with basic drawing materials like pencils, paper, and an eraser. As we progress, we will try out other materials such as pastel pencils and Prismacolor pencils.
I'll provide a full list of materials inside the program.
How much time should I practice?
Even a few hours per week can produce noticeable improvement when practicing the right skills consistently.
Can I work at my own pace?
Yes. Once lessons unlock, they remain available to revisit anytime. The lessons are revealed weekly, but you don't need to keep up with that pace.
Do I need to keep up with the weekly lesson schedule?
Absolutely not. You've got a busy life, I understand. If you fall behind the weekly release schedule that's perfectly ok (and to be honest, normal). Your payments will automatically stop when all lessons have been unlocked (84 lessons) and you can catch up at your own pace.
Is this only for drawing?
No. Strong drawing skills also dramatically improve painting ability, observation, and composition. In the later stages of the program I will also teach you how to paint in acrylics.
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely! The course is covered by the 30 Day Progress Promise!
Follow the lessons and exercises for 30 days and you will see real improvement in your drawing skills.
If you don’t, I’ll gladly refund your first month.
Your Future Drawings Depend on
What You Do Next
You’re not alone in this.
A year from now, you could still be wishing you had started...
Or you could already be confidently filling sketchbooks with artwork you’re proud of.
The Drawing Accelerator Program gives you the structure, support, and skills to finally make real progress.
