“I found this course helpful at any level and would recommend it to anyone with a strong interest in using drawing as a thinking tool, allowing the imagination to wander and eventually find meaning and excitement. The feedback is honest, knowledgable, and it's a place where you can truly develop new skills.”

“The tutors feedback about how they perceive my storytelling, what works and is not clear enough was fantastic. It is also great to meet and discover the works of fellow artists, to exchange about how they build up a story with images.”

Pickled Feelings by Katarzyna Mochocka | @kamochiart
“The most important thing I learned was composition specifically, how to create a clear and, above all, consistent visual language throughout a story. Alongside this, I gained a much deeper appreciation for attention to detail, and how even small choices can strengthen the coherence and impact of a visual narrative.”
