Start Your Artistic JourneyCommon Drawing Challenges We Tackle Together
Every portrait artist faces similar obstacles. That's exactly why our collaborative approach works so well — when you learn alongside peers, you discover solutions faster.
-
Proportion Struggles
Fellow students share measurement techniques and spot proportion issues you might miss. Fresh eyes from classmates often catch what you can't see in your own work.
-
Shading Confusion
Watch how others approach light and shadow on the same reference. Compare different shading styles within your peer group to find what works best for your artistic voice.

Feature Placement
Group critiques help identify when eyes sit too high or mouths feel off-center. Peer feedback creates a supportive environment for addressing these common placement issues.
