What tools do you need for embroidery? It’s a good question and one that embroidery artist Floor Giebels is eager to answer. She teaches an online course called Intermediate Embroidery: Getting Creative with Printed Fabrics in which she shows you how to create images, print them on fabric, and then use thread to enhance the photograph.

Giebels starts by sourcing images and then printing them at home. She then selects a color palette and employs basic stitches to create realistic hair and clothing. The approach of using printed fabrics goes beyond the beginner-level pattern transfer, but the stitches are fundamental techniques that anyone can learn and more advanced stitchers will love to use.

To learn how Giebels creates her embroidery, you’ll need the following supplies. You’ll start out with the printed images, whether that’s on your own inkjet printer (and full-page shipping labels) or through a printing service like Spoonflower. Then, you’ll use embroidery needles, crewel needles, and floss to bring the image to life on cotton fabric in a seven-inch wooden hoop. Finally, craft glue will help secure your artwork to make it suitable for display.

Grab your embroidery supplies and enroll in Intermediate Embroidery: Getting Creative with Printed Fabrics. It’s only available through My Modern Met Academy, our e-learning platform that will ignite your creativity. Know someone who would love this class as a gift? Give them a gift certificate to purchase this course.

When you’re first discovering a new creative skill, having the proper tools can make it easier to learn. The perfect pencil, of course, can’t make you a pro without hard work and practice, but it will get you on the right path. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to draw architecture in all its detailed glory, we have the shopping list for you and expert instruction to accompany it.

In her online course Architectural Illustration for Everyone: Draw Buildings in Ink and Colored Pencil, artist Demi Lang shares how to draw buildings using her time-tested approach to illustration. She starts with a line drawing, inks over the initial sketch, and finishes it by adding some color. The results are exquisite and highlight all of the lovely details you find in architecture.

To learn how Lang creates her work, you’ll need the following supplies. You’ll start with Strathmore toned paper, a mechanical pencil (or sharp 2B pencil), a ruler, and a set square. You’ll then move on to a black fine liner pen, a white gel pen, and finally, a set of high-quality colored pencils.

So, grab your supplies and settle into Architectural Illustration for Everyone: Draw Buildings in Ink and Colored Pencil. It’s only available through My Modern Met Academy, our e-learning platform that will ignite your creativity. Know someone who would love this class as a gift?

We're now into October, which for some people means ordering a pumpkin spice latte or picking the perfect Halloween costume. But for creatives, it can only mean one thing—a month of daily drawing challenges. This annual event invites people worldwide to pick up a pen or pencil and start drawing during the month of October. To celebrate the event, and encourage even more people to draw, our online e-learning platform My Modern Academy is getting in on the fun.

For the entire month of October, we'll be offering a special October Drawing Challenge bundle. The bundle includes some of our favorite illustration courses packaged together at a special price. For just $95, you'll be enrolled in three online drawing classes that you can watch and learn from at your leisure.

Much like the various October drawing challenges have different drawing prompts for different days, My Modern Met Academy's illustration bundle is full of variety. In this way, you'll be able to hone diverse skills and take your drawing to a new level. Included in the deal is our popular architectural illustration course taught by artist Demi Lange. Over the course of nearly 3.5 hours, you'll learn how to use ink and colored pencil to create a stunning architectural illustration.

Next, you'll learn how to apply colored inks to your drawings in an engaging course by illustrator Anna Sokolova. She'll take you step-by-step through the process of creating your own animal portrait using this magical medium. Then, you'll round out your illustration skills with an introduction to hand lettering by expert Danison Fronda. He'll help you perfect your alphabet and see how drawing letters is a deeply creative art form.

By purchasing the October Drawing Challenge bundle for $95, you're getting a savings of over 20% if you were to purchase them individually. So, whether you already love drawing or are just dipping your toe into it, make sure you take advantage of this special offer. Once you purchase the courses, they'll live on your student dashboard indefinitely, so you can watch them at your own pace as often as you'd like.

Get a sneak peek of each class below and then sign up. Our October Drawing Challenge bundle will only be available for the month of October, so don't delay.
