Online Drawing Lessons for Kids and Teens

Live online drawing classes for kids and teens 7–17 with Katya, an artist and teacher. Each lesson is built around what your child loves to draw.

These are online drawing classes for kids with a live teacher, not another video. Our drawing and digital art classes for kids work the same way as our 3D course: one child, one teacher and a personal track.

LUMO, a digital art school for kids, runs drawing classes for kids and teens 7–17 online, live and one-on-one. The teacher is Katya Sycheva, the school's founder, an artist and teacher; each 60-minute lesson on Zoom follows what your child loves to draw. A lesson is $40, or $160 a month with one lesson a week. The first trial lesson is free.

What gets in the way of a child who loves to draw

Ideas stay ideas

Kids invent characters, worlds and stories, but, as Katya puts it, the ideas often just stay ideas and never get made.

  • •Whole worlds live in their head, not on paper
  • •Sketches stay in the margins of a notebook
Interest → Idea → Drawing → Feedback → Next step

How the lessons work

First Katya gets to know your child and what they love to draw. Then each lesson follows a personal track, at your child's pace.

From drawing to 3D and animation

Katya teaches both drawing and 3D at LUMO. Speaking about the school as a whole, she describes how kids make their work with every tool available today: from hand sketches in pencil and markers to modern programs for 3D modeling and animation.

Art first, tools second. As Katya puts it, the tools "could be different and all of them should serve the purpose, should serve the goal, should serve our idea." Neural networks, for her, are one more great tool next to traditional ones, not a replacement.

If your child wants to go further, LUMO has a course in 3D modeling and animation in Blender, free 3D software, for kids 7–17. There, a character first drawn on paper can become a model you can turn around, light and animate.

Frequently asked questions

From 7 to 17, from younger kids to middle school students and teens. Each lesson is one-on-one, so drawing classes for an 8-year-old and for a 13-year-old don't look the same: Katya follows each child's pace and interests. The easiest way to see how this works at your child's age is the free trial lesson.

Yes. These are private drawing lessons for kids online: one child and one teacher, Katya, live on Zoom. There's no group to keep up with, so Katya can answer questions and adjust the lesson as your child draws. Your child doesn't have to wait for a turn or match anyone else's speed.

Katya Sycheva, the founder of LUMO, a 3D artist and educator. She teaches both drawing and the school's 3D course. Katya starts from the child: what they love to draw and what pace suits them. You can meet her at the free trial lesson. More about Katya.

$40 for one 60-minute lesson, or $160 a month with one lesson a week (4 lessons). There are no hidden fees. The first trial lesson is free, so you can meet Katya and see how a lesson goes before you pay for anything.

Once or twice a week, 60 minutes each, as in our 3D course. The day and time are agreed individually after your request, so there's no group schedule to follow. The monthly price of $160 covers one lesson a week.

English or Russian. Choose the language your child is most comfortable talking in. You can write it in the request for the free trial lesson, together with your child's age and interests, and we'll take it into account when we get in touch.

Their own. In Katya's lessons, references are for inspiration, and students come up with their own details and ideas: she says so in class. Our drawing lessons for children follow what your child is interested in, so the drawings start from their ideas, not from a template.

Yes. LUMO also has a course in 3D modeling and animation in Blender for kids 7–17, and Katya teaches it too. A child who draws characters can later build them in 3D and bring them to life in animation. See the 3D course or ask about it at the trial lesson.

Not at the moment: we don't teach drawing on iPad. If your child is used to drawing on one, mention it when you book the free trial lesson. The request form has a field for your child's age and interests, and that's the place to write it.

Book a free trial lesson: 60 minutes on Zoom, no commitment. A parent leaves the request, we get in touch to agree on a convenient time, and your child meets Katya. The trial follows the same format as a regular lesson. After that, you decide whether to continue.
