Set your creativity free and learn digital art with 9+ hours of content and 50+ video lessons!
Artists are made, not born: Let me show you why!
🌟 You have always been led to believe that art runs through your veins.
🌟 You have always thought that these abilities are innate.
🌟 True artists never lose their inspiration and always produce masterpieces in front of a blank sheet of paper.
Am I wrong?
Well, these are myths!
There is no magical, innate art, but what you admire so much in others is just the result of effort and dedication.
PATIENCE, DEDICATION, PASSION:
these are the three elements that make you a true artist.
I don't want to say that there are not people who are better skilled than others, but I want to tell you that if you want to, you can become a true artist yourself!
My role is to help you in this learning process by providing you with all the tools and knowledge that will help you on this path.
