This will be a 8 week, one-on-one mentorship where you and I will work closely together on your artistic goals and development. Two mentorship structures will be offered and of course tailored to you:

(1) Foundation Mentorship - Ideal for more beginning artists who want more structured guidance in improving their foundational skills like drawing, perspective, composition, basic painting, etc. Customized exercises and lesson plans will be given to target the student's desired areas of improvement.

(2) Custom Mentorship - Ideal for intermediate or more advanced artists who feel they have a good base but want to take their work to the next level. This mentorship is intended to be much more fluid and will derive its direction based on the individual student's goals, which can include but not be limited to: portfolio development, concept art, personal illustration goals, specific skill development, etc.

Every mentorship will consist of:

- A preliminary conversation to assess your goals & determine a mentorship plan specific to you

- 90 minute meetings once a week for 8 weeks via an online meeting platform

- Real-time feedback and artistic guidance, including but not limited to draw-overs, demonstrations, mini-lectures and personalized assignments

- Ability to download resources, tools or materials created during our mentorship

- Access to a computer and internet connection equipped to handle online meetings through Google Hangout or Skype

- Access to your own digital drawing tools and software such as Photoshop

- Ability to meet during one of these blocks of time (Pacific Standard Time)

- There will be a non-refundable deposit required to secure your spot. 

- Any refund policy will be determined based on the number of applicants and the timeline in which any refund is requested relative to the mentorship start date.

I have been teaching classes in Illustration and Design for the past 5 years at art schools such as CG Master Academy, Brainstorm School, and the LA Academy of Figurative Art. In addition I have also previously mentored several students in one-on-one capacities through the Motivarti mentorship program. With all of that combined experience and my passion for teaching, I have no doubt I can bring a lot to your education with a more personalized approach.
