    This show is a Youtube live “not for kids” show, so we can have chat and I can answer your questions as we go along. I’m assuming viewers are over 13 and want to learn to draw, illustrate or write books.


  • Join me and learn to draw in a loose, watercolour and ink style. You will find links to materials used below. I will also be talking about drawing and illustration, answering your questions and helping out.

    Use #shoobeedoodle to share on Twitter or instagram and I may show your work! My name for both is @shoorayner

    You will have seen that last week I began doing storytime videos live for those stuck at home. Looking at my stats, I realise that people want me to do drawing more than stories and, as many other authors are doing story videos, that’s what I will do. so I’m changing to Drawing and illustration live, weekdays at 4:00p Uk time. That works out at New York 12:00 Vancouver 09:00Berlin 17:00Abu Dhabi 20:00 Mumbai 21:30 to give you an idea. Sorry about Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific and Asia, but you will be able to catch up later.

    This will be a “not for kids show”, so we can have chat and I can answer your questions s we go along.
