HOW IT WORKS
OVERVIEW
Mentorships will help achieve your objectives and goals in illustration. I can help give understanding, input and personalization that will guide you to be a confident artist and independent learner outside of the mentorship.
This mentorship will help if you don’t know where to start with studying or feeling frustrated creating illustrations because it’s too challenging. I can give you an idea of what fundamentals you may need to work on and how to approach them.
A program will be made for you that consists of homework given throughout the week and I am available to talk to you within the entire week if you have any questions. Each week I will give a critique on your homework and/or critique anything you’re working on. This can be done through either Discord or Zoom.
My mentorship style will help you get artworks done for portfolios or to post on social media, and you will be given techniques and resources so you can learn outside the mentorship once it is completed.
These categories will require more time/sessions depending on your skill level, therefore may not be taught but I can give resources instead. Please consider what is super necessary for your artistic development.

TIMEFRAME/CONTENT
Mentorships last for 4 weeks (making up for approximately 1 month). You'll be given a Google Sheets file from week 0 where we do our initial chat to establish what you'd like to work on, then week 1 - 4 will consist of general notes and homework. From there if you'd like to book for an entire month or occasional lessons for extra help, this can happen after the end of the 4 weeks. There will be a wrap up session after illustration is completed. Week 0 will be the first meeting where we discuss what you’d like to work on and what your inspirations are. I will probably give you homework to collect inspirations or references. You will be required to create a Pinterest to collect references where both of us can see your inspirations. There will also be a Google Drive file that you can upload your homework or illustration you would like critiqued. The Google Sheets file will be used to document what we do for each sessions and it can be used like a personal diary so I can see what you might be struggling with or questions you’d like answered. |
TEACHING/LEARNING STYLE
My general teaching style will be how I taught myself to do art - emphasizing understanding, input and personalization. I will not force students to learn my way, I will only show ways other artists and myself understand certain subjects. I won’t force how much you need to understand, just learn what is necessary for your work. Input means to actually use things you have learnt into your own artwork through dedicated exercises. We will work on what you'd like to improve, and I will not push things you already feel like you have strength in. However, I will also tell you honestly if you might need more work in certain areas. There are two different ways you can learn. 1. Using the 4 weeks to build up skills to create an illustration. We will go through a planning stage together and see what you need to work on to create the illustration. You will learn the skill and be given input exercises before using the skill in the full illustration. This will help targeting areas you need to work on and learning how to build up skills to create any illustration. 2. We can go through all of the things you want to work on and not do as many input exercises if you feel like you already know to to do this. Much like a traditional class where you will learn certain skills then use them after the mentorship is finished. |

DETAILS & TERMS OF SERVICE
I would like to state I did not go through art school, everything I have learnt has been through independent learning. I may not know everything or know the traditional methods of art, but if there is something I don’t know I will set time aside to find out that information.
