Q&A

  • No matter what tools you prefer, you're welcome to join this course! While digital tools like an iPad, Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app are recommended for the best experience, the core techniques and concepts can easily be applied whether you're working with traditional pencil and paper or digital tools. The most important thing is your passion for learning and improving your portrait drawing skills so feel free to join, no matter what tools you’re using!

    Just a gentle reminder that the course is non-refundable once you enroll.

  • For the best experience in this course, I recommend using an iPad, Apple Pencil and the Procreate App as they are the main tools used by the teacher.
    However, if you're using an Android device or prefer another program like Clip Studio Paint, feel free to join! Just keep in mind that some of the tools and features I’ll be using might not be exactly the same or as easy to find on other devices. But don't worry I'll make sure the core techniques are easy to follow no matter what!

  • The recommended age for this course is 16 and above. I believe that younger learners need a different teaching approach and specialized guidance, which I am not trained to provide.

    For this reason, it's important to respect the age requirement. If this rule isn’t followed, I may need to decline a student’s participation.

    Please note that the course is non-refundable.
