Do you have questions? Here are some answers!

Q: How long will the tutorials take to complete?

A: The collection has 5 main lessons that take a total of about 1 hour to watch. This doesn't include prep time for the drawings or actual rendering time. I designed these to be quick and easy to get through.

The course is totally self-paced so you can stop and start whenever you need, try out some techniques, and then revisit the lessons if you wish.

Q: How long do I have access to the tutorials for?

A: The Unarchived Patreon Video Tutorial Collection is lifetime access. You will be able to revisit the course any time you want.


Q: I don't have some of the products, can I still complete the tutorials?

A: You can absolutely use other brands and products that you are comfortable with other than the ones I mention in the tutorials! Please note that in some cases your results will vary, however. The only exceptions are the Derwent Inktense & Lightfast tutorials because they are specific to that product. In the case of Inktense, it performs very differently than its competitors. 

Q: I'm in between a beginner and intermediate, are these tutorials still helpful for me?

A: Yes! These tutorials are still applicable to artists who are not complete beginners. 

You've reached the end, and I want to leave you with one more thing...

Creating art should be fun and relaxing. The time and effort you put into your artwork shouldn't be spent struggling to grasp techniques that will help you elevate your art. That's why I bundled all of these tutorials together... to give you a one-stop resource to learn some of the most common tips, tools, and techniques to create stunning artwork you can be proud of!
