ART COACH & DRAW-OVER

What’s Art Coach and Draw-Over?

ART COACH is where we examine your work habits and professional goals, and create an improved plan of action. Or where we critique and discuss your work and develop a framework to continue improving. It's a 25 minute live video chat with a follow-up document plan. This is like having a discussion with your professor.


DRAW-OVER is where I asynchronously sketch on top of your work, and/or critique your art portfolio or website and personal branding. You get a recorded video of the draw-over and a follow-up document plan. This is like receiving feedback on your project or assignment.

Why Book an Art Coach or 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 art advice on art pieces, your portfolio, your personal branding, or any other visuals you are working on.
  • You'd like to be given some creative assignments to kick-start your next project.
  • 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, former Associate Professor of animation—not an accountant or lawyer.)
