I took Manga drawing classes with Andrew during the Fall '23 semester. I didn't hesitate when my Dad asked if I wanted to sign up again. Andrew is very talented, he can make awesome drawings in no time at all. He is a good teacher that sees flaws in my drawing and corrects them. Plus he is fun to work with.

Just finished taking Academic Drawing with Andrew. I have no experience whatsoever in drawing and always wanted to learn. In each class, we have learned different skills and techniques. Andrew is a really patient and great teacher. By the end of all 14 classes, i was able to draw landscapes, folds, and plaster heads and was able to learn bout shading and basic drawing techniques. It has been a great class, and I would like to continue learning about drawing.

Thank you so much Maria & Andrew!

I still cannot believe i was able to paint a portrait like this by the end of the class. It would definitely recommended this class if someone wants to learn oil or acrylic painting.
