Career Change at 38: Learning to Draw as an Adult with Sketch Like The Pros

Career Change at 38 Learning to Draw as an Adult with Sketch Like The Pros

Meet Jacek: From Accountant to Passionate Sketcher at 38

Hello, I’m Jacek from Poland.

I’m “old enough not to mention my age” (38!), and my journey into drawing is a bit unconventional. After spending 10 years as an accountant, I realized it wasn’t my true calling.

I decided to quit and pursue my growing interest in graphic design, teaching myself the basics and treating the computer as just another creative tool-like a pencil or a sheet of paper.

Why I Chose Sketch Like The Pros

I had always wanted to learn how to draw and express my ideas on paper.
When I came across the Sketch Like The Pros course, I decided to give it a try. Since enrolling, I’ve submitted around 1,800 sketches and make it a point to practice as much as possible.

What Makes This Course Different

  • Structured Learning Path: The course provides a clear plan, a set of exercises, and practical tools for balanced development.
  • Solid Foundations: I discovered early on that my straight lines could be straighter and my hand positioning needed work-things I wouldn’t have noticed without this course.
  • Personal Guidance: Chou-Tac is not only a great teacher but also a supportive friend who’s always there to help.
  • Comprehensive Content: The course covers perspective, drawing from imagination, and geometric forms-giving you a solid foundation for any creative pursuit.

My Progress and Advice

I’ve always struggled with setting learning priorities and knowing what to focus on.
With Sketch Like The Pros, I now have direction and a method to my practice.

The feedback and exercises help me see real improvement, and I strongly recommend the course to anyone serious about learning to draw, no matter your age or background.

Take care, keep practicing, and remember: it’s never too late to start sketching!
