* This process will take a long time, but at this point you will have a good amount of visual development for your portfolio, a beautiful selection of sketches, a finished illustration that you can include in your portfolio.
* I will answer any question during these sessions, so don’t be shy to ask. If you’re too shy to speak out loud, you can email me and I will answer before and after the workshop.
* I will be looking at everyone’s work before and after workshop hours and will communicate feedback through email.

*Frequent questions:
What happens if I can’t see the classes live one day?
• No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and posted on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want throughout the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your class live at the stipulated time, you will be able to see them on the platform until the end of the course. These video-classes posted on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course but cannot be copied or downloaded. They can also be viewed for 6 months once the course is over.
When can I see the classes I did not attend live?
• 24-hour access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes that have already been taught or the proposed exercises. When, where and at the rate you want.
