"I found this class so so helpful! I am always curious about what tech people use and why. I'm new to digital art and it's hard to know where to begin, sometimes! Mimi was so pleasant and friendly and patiently explained all the little details in a way someone like me (who is not very tech savvy) could understand. I appreciate the time and attention to details given by the instructor!"

"The class made it really clear how to get started drawing in Procreate for a beginner. I especially liked how she included downloadable files so we could practice along with her (so many other classes give just give you the theory, but I learn better when there's a project I can play along with the teacher to learn while doing). I would highly recommend this class to any other beginner artists/illustrators who want to figure out how to quickly get started in digital art."
