Hi, I'm Sam. 

I’m an illustrator and experienced teacher based in Canada, best known for drawing fantastical places, hidden worlds, and atmospheric scenes in ink and pencil.

Over the years, I’ve taught thousands of artists how to approach perspective, composition, world-building, and drawing from imagination in a way that feels practical, approachable, and less intimidating.

My work is rooted in traditional tools, simple marks, and the belief that you don’t need perfect references, rulers, or complicated systems to create a believable world. You just need a way in.

In this course, I’ll walk you through the same process I use to build imaginary scenes from scratch, from the first pencil framework and freehand perspective choices to texture, shading, ink, and the final atmosphere of the piece.
