Build a strong foundation
We all want to skip the boring basic drills and dive straight into drawing what interests us, I get it! I was the same way. But at some point, if you want to grow, you'll realize you need to learn the foundations.
I spent years figuring out how to put all the pieces together to find my own style. I'll share all my learnings with you, in the way I wish it was taught to me.
Have fun with engaging exercises
I synthesize what I've learned from countless hours of classes and practice to focus on the 20% of the knowledge that has made 80% of the difference in my creative growth (hint: know your values!).
Enjoy your practice with inspiring exercises that are interesting and aesthetic. You'll see improvement quickly and be motivated to keep learning.
Learn to find your own style
Rather than only learning how to draw realistically or in a certain style, this class helps you understand how the artist's toolkit works, so you can learn to express your own vision.
This is dramatically different than learning another artist's step-by-step, or learning each tool in isolation from seeing how it ties into the bigger picture.
"This class is so comprehensive and worth its weight in gold! I am so impressed that Mimi was able to combine several semesters of traditional art school into a 4-hour class."

"I found it great because rather than copying a piece step by step, you gain the skills to explore drawing on your own. This is as good as any college course I have taken. . . I loved that the course went beyond just the very basics and introduce drawing portraits - my biggest fear! And now I have a starting point. I look forward to finishing more practice and projects when I have more tools to work analog and not just digital!"
-Stephanie S.
"I have some experience in drawing, but still I learned many new things, and lots of new techniques, not to mention the importance of taking my time with those initial sketches, or how to create successful color palettes, or the process of conceptualizing an illustration idea. Mimi really takes her time to walk the student through all the knowledge necessary in a fun and engaging way."
