Testimonials
"This is more than a figure drawing/anatomy class. Dylan teaches you how to unlock your eyes to capture the spirit of the figure. His lectures are beyond insightful and he always provided constructive feedback to the students. Not only did this class help with my workflow, but I never thought figure drawing could have so much style and personality,"
"I’ve learned soooooo much in this class! I’d highly recommend this for any artist regardless the level because it changes how you think about drawing"
“Well paced and clearly explained lectures. Besides learning the fundamentals of anatomy, an easy and understandable approach to rendering the figure was given. It was easy to build and expand on what Dylan taught in his classes with the homework he gave.”
“Amazing class! Dylan is a great teacher and helped a lot with some recurring issues and questions I had.”
“Dylan is an exceptional teacher, and I am confident that anyone who takes his class will emerge as a more skilled artist by the end of it. I definitely feel like I have leveled up!”
“Dylan is a fantastic teacher - he's not only extremely knowledgeable but also breaks down the content in a way that is very understandable and applicable. One of the best figure drawing classes I've ever taken!”
“If you'd like something better than what any art school could offer at a genuinely good price instead of at the cost of your soul and your firstborn child apply to this mentorship. The Resolution Art Mentorship was extremely helpful in equipping me with the knowledge and habits necessary to push me to the next level”
“The most stress free figure drawing class I have ever taken! The emphasis on building a reliable method over academic anatomy was refreshing and easily digestible!”
“There is absolutely nothing like this mentorship. I have taken various art courses and mentorships in the past AND I've been to a 4-year art school. NONE of them delivered the same amount of focused feedback and discussion that Resolution Mentorship provided. The amount of time and effort put into each critique always surprised me. The mentors were always encouraging, approachable, and incredibly intuitive on exactly what I needed from week to week. I always felt like they really cared about helping me learn and get better. On top of being super professional, they are just cool people. If you're on the fence, sign up already!!!”
“To someone who has struggled with figure drawing, this class was a game changer! I saw noticeable improvement in my gesture work and proportions. I was even able to complete a full body rendered figure by the end of the class for the first time. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with this mentorship. As someone who didn’t attend art school, I felt pretty lost about how to proceed towards a career in art. Dylan, Ben, and Chelsea helped me establish a clear plan of action for myself. I cannot overstate how valuable that is. The amount of work they put in to push us forward with our skillsets and portfolios was way beyond my expectations. I can’t thank them enough for sharing their wisdom and guidance. I highly recommend this mentorship if you’re feeling uncertain about how to start your professional art journey.”
“As an aspiring Visual Development artist, it's been amazing to have industry professionals as mentors. They have been very supportive in helping me ensure I continue to improve as an artist. I've learn so much valuable lessons during this mentorship and have also gained a strong sense of discipline to work hard for my future.”
“Thank you Chelsea and Dylan for everything, without you guys I cannot make it this far.”
“I can't express my appreciation for the opportunity to have been a student of RAM. The in-depth lessons, tips, discussions and feedback from these industry professionals have been priceless in shaping me into a better artist. The intensity of our assignments pushed me to challenge myself and, despite my shortcomings, helped me realize my potential and put together a stronger, more cohesive portfolio. I don't think I would've been able to progress this quickly towards becoming a visual development artist without such genuine, knowledgeable and dedicated mentors. Thank you so much!”
