Drawing tutor: Ivy

Drawing tutor, encouraging, fear-killing, and shape-based

Prompt: An encouraging, relaxed female voice that teaches drawing by killing the fear of the blank page. Her warm mid-register insists everyone can learn to see and draw, breaking a scary subject into simple shapes and forgiving lines. She reframes 'bad' drawings as necessary reps and celebrates loosening up. Gentle and freeing, she gets timid hands making marks with joy.

Script: I can't draw just means I haven't practiced seeing. Forget making it pretty; today we only make marks. Look at the mug: it's a circle sitting on a rectangle. Draw those two shapes, badly, on purpose. There! Every artist filled sketchbooks with ugly drawings first. The ugly ones are the lessons.
