The one-liner
A beginner drawing club run by a former games art director with a huge YouTube channel.
What they actually sell
Sketch Club is run by Marty B. The headline pitch reads: "Complete beginners draw with confidence through simple lessons, weekly workshops, and personalized feedback." The public offer sits at $24 a month. A free trial sits on the join path. The host's credentials carry the page, a former senior art director and the creator of a cartooning channel with more than five million subscribers. Inside sit 14 courses. The page does not spell out a money-back promise. Anyone copying this should notice that the sale rests on one clear outcome rather than a long feature list.
Who pays and why
Complete beginners who always wanted to draw. The pain is drawings that never look the way they imagined. They pay for weekly sketch workshops, a project library, personal feedback and a Friday review of member art.
Where the members come from
Marty's Cartooning Club channel on YouTube, with more than five million subscribers, is the obvious front door. Sketch Club reads as the paid back end for viewers who want feedback, not just videos.
What's holding it back
The YouTube channel gives a lot away free. The paid room has to keep feedback personal to stand apart.
Steal this
Review member work every Friday so everyone learns from other people's drawings.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for other visual crafts such as watercolour. Weak for skills that cannot be shown on screen.

“I’m actually deleted my last review so I can give a new one. . I love what Marty and the community are doing here. In just over 6 months to see how it keeps growing is amazing. Marty has this to where you wanna sit everyday and sketch. His program, his talent, his compassion and gratitude towards everyone is absolutely contagious. My favorite part is watching all the young members getting better week in week out. I love it! So let’s keep pushing this forward what do ya say”

“I always enjoyed playing on paper then I found the sketch club. Marty’s lessons are easy to follow and you can see that he wants to help people grow in their sketching and techniques. Without a doubt you will enjoy and improve all aspects of sketching; using shading, water colors and markers; it’s all here in one place. The online community is friendly and supportive Thank you, Marty for helping and improving people with their art.”

“A lot of Art, and a lot of fun”

“Marty has the best tutorials for learning to sketch in my opinion. I have been sketching for 6 weeks and Marty's teachings have bought out a level of sketching in me that I never knew I had. I have looked at other online tutorials and Marty's is the best "hands down"!!. If you want to learn how to sketch spend the time with Marty and his drawing video's, with determination, practice and a desire to sketch well I guarantee you will be better than what you thought you would be.!!!. Thanks Marty.”
