FAQ

How & where do I watch the classes I purchased?

When you purchase a class, you will get a link to make an account in Mimochai Studio, where our classes are hosted. Once you have made an account, you will be able to access the class videos and materials.

As a member of Mimochai Studio, you will also receive:

  • Access to our Resource Library of articles, tips, and recommended resources for artists
  • A Community Sharing space with the option to post class work, questions, respond to other students, and get feedback from Mimi

The Studio platform is convenient and easy to navigate, and there is even a mobile app to make it easy to access everything on the go.

What's inside Mimochai Studio?

Mimochai Studio is the platform that our classes are hosted on! Inside the Studio, you will have access to class videos, materials, and resources for classes you have purchased, as well as the option to buy additional classes when you are ready. The Studio also includes:

  • A Community Sharing space with the option to post class work & questions, respond to other students, and get feedback from Mimi
  • A Resource Library of articles, tips, and recommended resources for artists
  • Bonus drawing demos

We also have welcome guides and walk-throughs to show you how to get started and get the most out of the Studio. :)

What mediums do you use in Mimochai Studio and classes?

Most of the classes are designed so you can use whatever digital or traditional medium you prefer. You can preview the materials used in each class on the class pages - see all classes here.

We do have specific classes for Procreate (Intro to Digital Drawing) and Procreate Dreams (Animate Your Illustrations) on the iPad. We also encourage you to use traditional materials for some of the exercises in the Drawing Foundations class.

Which bundled class set is right for me?

The Foundations Set ($149, save 33% on a $225 value) is designed for complete beginners through intermediate artists who want inspiration and guidance for growing in creativity, and to build or refresh their basic drawing skills. It Includes Drawing Foundations, Intro to Digital Painting, and Natural Explorer. Learn more here!

The Complete Art Set ($249, save 60% on the $625 value) includes all courses in the Foundations Set, plus three intermediate/advanced classes for only $100 more: Illustrated Journaling, Create a Collection, and Animate your Illustrations.

I have already purchased a class. How do I add more?

We're glad you are enjoying our classes! You can join a new class by purchasing it through our website (standalone or a bundle), or from inside Mimochai Studio.

If you would like to take multiple classes, we recommend our class bundles for the greatest savings. (Please note that previous standalone class purchases can't be used to discount future bundle purchases.) See our bundle options here:

Is a subscription required to join Mimochai Studio?

No, we do not offer subscription memberships. The only way to join the Studio is to join a class. For all of our classes and class bundles, a one-time payment will give you permanent access, so you can go at your own pace and revisit whenever you like.

What's the difference between Mimochai Studio and Mimi's classes on Skillshare?

Skillshare only hosts our classes. It is great if you're looking for access to thousands of other classes, including ours. You can learn guitar, how to cook, how to knit, etc. We love Skillshare for that!

Mimochai Studio is more appropriate if you are looking for community and guidance specifically from Mimi and the Mimochai team.

What's the difference between Mimochai Studio and Mimochai's Patreon?

The main difference between the two is the purpose. Mimochai Studio is a learning community for people who are looking for creative classes, guidance, and an interactive community. It's a two-way sharing environment. 

Our Patreon is a way for people to support Mimochai's work and mission. A Patron's main goal is to support our work, not necessarily to learn from us. We thank our Patreon supporters with different perks and share our behind-the-scenes process as a company. We do not post this type of content on Mimochai Studio, unless it is relevant to a topic we are teaching.

Does Mimi provide direct mentoring or advice?

While this is not a mentoring or coaching service, Mimi is a very active host in Mimochai Studio and frequently interacts and answers questions in the community. Unlike many other communities whose main host is a distant figurehead, she enjoys responding directly to members' posts and leaves engaged feedback. For direct mentoring or advice, Studio Artist members have opportunities for 1:1 sessions. 

Anything else I should know?

You made it to the end! You're the best 💛
