<h4>OUR MISSION</h4>
Welcome! At <a title="Let's Draw People" href="http://www.letsdrawpeople.com">Let's Draw People</a>, it is our mission to awaken the inner artist in everyday people (including you!)...by drawing people. We believe that no matter which path in life you followed, you can rediscover and reignite that childhood passion of drawing you had when you were scribbling smiley faces and sketching stick figures. The reason we do what we do is to help other "aspiring" portrait artists who wish to improve their skills when it comes to drawing people.
<h4>OUR GOAL</h4>
Our goal is to build a community of people from all walks of life who commit to spending more time on what they have always enjoyed doing...drawing people! Our aim is for people who don't draw everyday to realize their true hidden talents and potential, to begin creating realistic pencil portraits that will amaze themselves and those they know and love.
<h4>HOW WE DO IT</h4>
Maybe you wish to learn how to draw something more advanced than a stick person. You wanted to learn, but life, jobs, and family got in the way and now your kids can draw people better than you. Or, maybe you already have some artistic talent, but you always struggle when it comes to drawing people. You often say, "Does her face look right to you?" or "I can't keep from drawing his hand crooked."

Whether you are just starting to draw all over again or if you have some experience, Let's Draw People lets you take your skills as an aspiring portrait artist to the next level. Here you will find tips and techniques to help you draw the human face and form in a variety of styles. We have informative articles, step-by-step tutorials and pictures, and how-to videos by a selection of artists that can accommodate your needs and abilities. As your skills develop, you may be able to eventually share your work in a <a title="Portrait Galleries" href="http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/portrait-galleries/">gallery</a> on this site to have your artwork recognized and appreciated by our followers. Better yet, you may be able to become a <a title="Draw for Us" href="http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/draw-for-us/">contributing artist and author</a> for us!
<h4>HOW WE GOT STARTED</h4>
Let's Draw People was founded by Jack Pearce, a guy who had a love for drawing ever since he was 3 years old and never really grew out of it. Although he loved drawing everything under the sun, Jack always had a special fascination with drawing people. The more Jack's skills developed, the more he wanted to focus on drawing people, especially realistic portraits in pencil (his favorite medium). Although Jack's chosen career path led him to become a teacher rather than a professional artist, he has drawn many commissioned portraits for people wanting custom portrait artwork, and he still draws and sketches people in his spare time for fun.

Whenever Jack does draw people, it triggers that childhood passion and desire to draw all the time. He formed Let's Draw People as a way to bring together others who have similar experiences, who have that wish of having the freedom to draw all day long as they so innocently did as kids. He formed Let's Draw People as a way to bring together portrait artists who want to share their knowledge and artwork, to help others learn, and to motivate each other to carve out more time for their passion for drawing, no matter how much life gets in the way.
