The Drawing Desk Creator Community is growing fast, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most exciting ways to learn drawing step by step inside one of the best drawing apps for kids and beginners.
Just weeks after launching with three founding artists, we’re thrilled to welcome two more talented creators to the program: Sara Lambardo, whose hand-lettering and journaling series is already a fan favourite, and Taisija Kalalina, whose bold stylized art lessons push what’s possible with a modern drawing lessons app.
Their video lesson series are now live inside Drawing Desk, giving kids, beginners, and aspiring artists the chance to explore stylized art drawing, journal title ideas, and creative techniques, all in one place, guided by real artists.

This makes Drawing Desk not just a learning app, but a global art learning platform
Whether you're a longtime Drawing Desk user looking for fresh creative challenges, or someone just discovering the app and wondering what makes it different, this update is worth paying attention to. Here's everything you need to know about the two newest additions to the community.
Sara Lambardo: Journal & Scrapbook Titles
Hand-lettering · Bullet Journaling
If you've ever wanted your bullet journal, scrapbook pages, or digital notes to look like the ones you see all over Pinterest, Sara Lambardo's series is exactly what you need. Sara is a hand-lettering and journaling artist whose lessons focus on one of the most searched-for drawing skills online: how to write beautiful, decorative titles.

Her series inside Drawing Desk is designed as a full progression; you start with the fundamentals and build toward combining everything into cohesive, finished journal spreads. It's a genuinely structured curriculum, not just a collection of standalone tips.
What's inside Sara's lesson series
Here's the full breakdown of what Sara covers across her ten lessons:
-
Learning the basics
-
Simple colorful titles
-
How to create shadows
-
Cute heart titles
-
Simple page decorations
-
Combining all learnings
-
Coquette titles
-
How to write dates
-
Small flower decorations
-
Cute titles for your notes

"Sara's series answers one of the most common questions in the journaling community: how do I actually make my titles look like that? The answer is now inside Drawing Desk."
Taisija Kalalina: Fun Stylized Art
Illustration · Stylized Characters
Taisija Kalalina's series, Fun Stylized Art, is something different. Where Sara's work leans into journaling and lettering, Taisija is a full-spectrum illustrator, and her lessons reflect that range. From anatomically challenging subjects like hands and portrait characters to vivid nature subjects like octopus tentacles and sea turtles, her series covers the kind of stylized illustration work that's grown enormously popular in digital art communities.
The defining characteristic of Taisija's style is bold, confident color with expressive linework. These aren't photorealistic tutorials; they're lessons in how to make a subject feel alive, dynamic, and distinctly yours. That's a skill that transfers across every subject you'll ever draw.
