DRAW-OVERS WITH CHRIS

What’s a Draw-Over?

Draw-Overs can literally mean a teacher sketching on top of a student’s work, or more broadly, a catchy way to describe critique of whole art portfolios or websites and personal branding. Depending on what you need help with, the concept of a draw-over could also mean that we examine your work habits and professional goals, and “draw-over” those too, with an improved plan of action.

Why Book a Draw-Over?

  • You are preparing your portfolio to apply to art school and would like some guidance.
  • You have graduated college, are missing the structure, and need to focus on how to make progress toward your goals.
  • You would like Draw-Over art advice on art pieces, your portfolio, your personal branding, or any other visuals you are working on.
  • You’d like to have me consult on any other professional practice issue you are working on. (My credentials are BFA Animation, MS Digital Media... I am not a tax professional or lawyer, just so you know!)

Which To Choose?

Choose the CHAT-IT-UP-MINI to have a 25-minute video consultation about your goals with Chris. You’ll get a recording of the chat and a follow-up document with recommendations tailored to your goals. This is a good choice if your goals just necessitate talking, no draw-overs of artwork included.


Choose the DRAW-OVER MEGA to have a 45-minute video meeting with Chris, which can include live draw-overs, critiques, consultation, and is followed up with a recording of the chat, a document with recommendations tailored to your goals, and any additional draw-over files.


Choose the DRAW-OVER MULTIMEGA to lock in a discount on three (3) 45-minute video meetings that we manually schedule at an interval of your choice after you book the first one. This is perfect if you would like to create the structure and accountability of a mini-class, where Chris can define custom assignments for the upcoming meetings as you work towards your ultimate goals.
