Petty Crimes

You Might Be Thinking
"I Can't Even Draw a Straight Line..."

Good. Because a straight line makes a terribly boring dog. Yes, pet portraits can feel impossible if you're trying to draw every single strand of fur like an oil painting in a museum.

But this? A guilty little suspect caught red-pawed in a crime?
You can do that. Even if you haven't picked up a pencil since grade school.

You don't need talent.
You don't need to study canine anatomy.
You don't need to know where a dog's shoulder connects to its elbow.

The shapes are simple, wonky, and forgiving.
The step-by-step framework builds the suspect piece by piece.

You choose the crime and dial up the ridiculousness. And by the time you add that final detail, you'll look at the paper and say: "Yep. That's 100% Milo and I love it."

A Quick Hi Before We Start

I'm Milica.

I’ve spent years sketching realistic objects and living things. But it wasn't until 3 years ago that I found a way of drawing that made me smile every time I sat down in front of a blank page.

For me, drawing isn't about photorealism or strict technique but rather adding personality to a page.

And who has more personality than our fur babies? So I thought...

What if I draw them with a weird little potato body, or the way they freeze when they get caught in the act...

What I love most is stripping away the intimidation of drawing.
You don’t need an art studio or fancy training; just basic supplies, your baby's funniest habit, and a clear recipe to follow.

That's why I created this workshop... To show you how easy, stress-free, and entertaining drawing our pets can be.

Here’s How Your Poster Comes Together

Spot Their Features

Before you draw anything, we’ll figure out exactly what makes them unique and how we're going to place that on paper.

Planning a dog poster from a photo, distinctive features and evidence

This includes:
The easiest way to find features to draw.
Why the “wrong” detail can sometimes matter more than perfect proportions.
Where to exaggerate so your drawing still looks like them.
Picking the evidence for the case.

Build Your Dog From Wonky Shapes

Frequently Asked Questions

I haven’t drawn since school. Is this suitable for me?

The course is designed for complete beginners, including people who don’t feel comfortable drawing freehand.

You’ll build your dog from simple, wonky shapes, with demonstrations focused on funny features and expressions.

The goal is a recognisable, funny drawing—not a technically perfect one.

Will I draw my own pet or copy the instructor’s?

You’ll work from a photograph of your own pet.

The dog demonstrations show how to approach the project, but your portrait, markings, nickname, and offence come from your animal.

Does my pet have to sit still?

No. You’ll draw from a photograph.

Your pet can continue sleeping, supervising, or attempting to steal the materials.

What animals does the course cover?

The demonstrations cover dogs.

The first version is not being presented as a complete guide to drawing every type of animal.

What do I need?

Paper, a pencil, an eraser, a black marker, and a clear pet photograph.

You’ll need access to a printer for the supplied layouts. Art supplies, printing, and a frame are not included in the course price.

Are you making the poster for me?

No. This is a video course that guides you through drawing and assembling the poster yourself.

You’re purchasing instruction and digital resources, not a finished physical print.

When will I receive access?

You’ll receive course access after your purchase.

Your confirmation email will explain how to access your lessons. You’ll be able to watch and revisit them for a lifetime.

Do I need to finish it all in one sitting?

No. You can pause the videos and work through the project over separate sessions.

There is no daily attendance requirement or live session to keep up with.

What happens if I change my mind?

You’re covered by a 90-day money-back guarantee. Email info@crafty-diy.com to request your refund.

You made it all the way down here.

You already know what you'd like to charge them with...

Four dogs caught causing mischief: reaching onto a kitchen counter, scattering sprinkles, unrolling toilet paper, and climbing a gate.

You don’t have to know what the finished page looks like yet. That’s the point.

Draw the simple, imperfect moment and let the odd shapes and step-by-step tutorials do the rest.
