[This course] really gave me an insight to what the artist industry is actually looking for and taught me many techniques I’ll be able to use to further my craft.
Chadwick W

Incredibly helpful practice. Gave lots of tools, rules and tips for how to think about and approach composition. The lectures and feedback were jam packed with super valuable information. I improved a ton, had multiple “ah-ha” moments, and will continue to work with what I learned to go further.
