Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior art experience to enroll? ▼
No experience necessary! Our courses are structured for beginners while remaining valuable for intermediate artists. We start with fundamentals and progress logically. Each course includes assessments to help you find the right starting point. You learn at your own pace, so take as much time as you need with each lesson.
How long does it take to complete a course? ▼
Course video content ranges from 6 to 15 hours, but with projects and practice, plan 4 to 8 weeks per course studying 5-10 hours per week. You have lifetime access to course materials, so you can revisit lessons, take breaks, or move faster as your skills develop. No strict deadlines—learn on your schedule.
What software do I need? ▼
It depends on the course. Digital painting courses focus on Procreate and Photoshop, but we also cover free alternatives. For traditional media courses, you'll just need basic supplies like paper, pencils, and paints—we recommend affordable student-grade materials. Each course has a detailed supply list in the welcome module.
Can I get feedback on my work? ▼
Yes! Every course includes project submission and instructor feedback. We also host live critique sessions twice monthly where you can get real-time feedback from instructors and peers. The community gallery is a great way to share progress and get constructive comments from fellow students.
Is there a money-back guarantee? ▼
We offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with a course for any reason within two weeks of purchase, we'll refund you in full. After that period, courses are non-refundable but yours to keep forever with all future updates included at no extra cost.
