...just kidding.

Hey, I'm Simon.

I taught myself to draw from scratch to a 2D artist working in the entertainment industry at 22 years old. While incredibly rewarding, the journey has also been full of bad habits, roadblocks and frustration.

I'm confident that for you, drawing can be different.
And for you, I have created Karyo.

Karyo

Karba + Vojo = "The charcoal path")

Karyo is a website and a community study group.
It is also drawing know-how, neatly organized in courses and bite-sized articles.

To us, learning the drawing craft is not an obstacle.
It is a process of liberation. Liberation of your ideas from the limitations of what your hands cannot (yet) do.

"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."
- Leonardo da Vinci

Drawing is art. But it's also a craft.
Like plumbing or carpentry, it can be taught through series of exercises and curated advice.

Maybe you think you lack creativity or talent, but if you get started, you just might discover them along the path.
