Student Reviews
Reviews from TiMy’s Previous Students

Student AWhenever I sat down to draw, I always felt lost. From the moment I opened the canvas, I struggled with everything, from how to build the body first to figuring out where a piece was even finished. Finishing a piece always felt hard. I knew I needed to study drawing, but I had no idea how, or what to study, so I just kept wandering on my own. Everything changed once I met Instructor TiMy. Whenever something in my work was off, she'd demonstrate it directly and explain it clearly and patiently. If you find the whole process of drawing overwhelming, or you've hit a wall studying on your own like I did, I really recommend Instructor TiMy's class.

Student BAfter meeting Instructor TiMy, my "incurable" problems all got fixed. Scratchy linework and hair strands, alien-looking anatomy, faces that were pretty but somehow off, the same flat perspective every time, dull lighting. There were more issues than I can even list, and I worked through every one of them. There are certain hurdles you have to clear to draw something beautiful. If those hurdles feel intimidating or overwhelming, I strongly recommend Instructor TiMy's class.
