Hyper-realistic artist & teacher · @aprameyah_daily

I'm a hyper-realistic artist working in alcohol markers and colour pencils. I've spent years perfecting not just the art, but how to teach it properly.

My courses are built on one belief: anyone can learn to draw if the steps are right. You don't need experience. You don't need a gift. You just need the willingness to follow the process — one layer at a time.

I guide every student personally through weekly live sessions, WhatsApp, and direct feedback on their work. Even after the course ends, I'm still here.

Basics to Brilliance "

The weekly live sessions made all the difference. Knowing Ankita would look at my work every Sunday kept me going.

Ananya

First Stroke — Adults "

I joined with zero experience and finished all three levels. The way Ankita explains each technique made it click immediately. I am now ready for Basics to Brilliance.

First Stroke — Kids "

The Krishna portrait took everything I had learned and brought it all together. That is not something I expected from an art course.

Questions

Common questions.

No prior experience is needed. The course starts from the very beginning — how to observe, how to hold the pencil, how to apply pressure. What matters is commitment to the 4-month process.
You'll need alcohol markers (Copic or equivalent), colour pencils (Polychromos or Prismacolor recommended), and good quality drawing paper. A full materials list is shared on enrolment.
Every Sunday there's a live Q&A where you can ask questions and get direct feedback from Ankita. Sessions are recorded so you never miss one.
Yes — age 13 and above is the right entry point. The step-by-step method means no one is left behind regardless of age.
You retain 1 year of access to all content. Beyond the formal duration, Ankita remains reachable via WhatsApp for questions about your continued practice.
Absolutely — you'll have a significant head start. The foundations from First Stroke map directly into Module 1.

Not sure if you're ready? — Start with First Stroke, our colour pencil series for beginners. Complete it and you'll arrive here fully prepared.
