Student Reviews
What Students Say About Doko’s Class
-
Student ADoko’s feedback is incredibly thorough. She not only explains what my art is lacking and why, but also gets to the root of the problem and shows me how to fix it. I could really feel my skills improving quickly. She also points out things I tend to overlook while drawing, and I immediately find myself thinking, “Oh, so that’s what I was missing!” I waited a year to sign up for this class, and I’m so glad I did!
-
Student BDoko goes beyond simply giving feedback. She takes the time to understand what each student wants to achieve and helps develop their analytical skills and artistic eye. Thanks to her guidance, my skills improved significantly in a short time, and she was just as happy to see my progress. Doko’s class was my first experience at an art academy, and I’m always grateful for how kind and passionate she is, even taking the time to answer all my individual questions.
-
Student CI used to stick to croquis because I was afraid to create my own work, but after just four months of Doko’s class, I was able to create much more freely! She pinpointed the bad habits in my art and helped me build on my strengths in a way that fits current trends, allowing me to improve quickly without hitting a plateau. I highly recommend this class to anyone who feels stuck despite constant practice or wants to see a change in their art.
