      Mathias has provided excellent constructive feedback with each lesson and I feel like I’ve already improved as an artist because of it.

    • Mayenna

      I learnt a ton about everything! Mathias was really good at explaining design fundamentals, and even though I already have been taught them, I feel like I understand them much better now. His analyses of big, medium, and small, detail placement, and colour theory, were super useful…. The feedback was super good and Mathias was very honest whilst being very constructive and fun with it.
