Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I keep access to a self-paced course?
You receive lifetime access, including future updates to the same course edition. If an edition is retired, you retain access to your purchased version.
What is the difference between mentor-guided and live cohort?
Mentor-guided includes scheduled critiques submitted asynchronously. Live cohort adds weekly live sessions with deadlines and peer review.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Self-paced courses: 14-day refund if under 20% of lessons are completed. Mentor-guided and live cohorts: full refund up to 7 days before start; partial thereafter—see Terms.
Can beginners start with figure drawing?
We recommend Foundations I first. If you already practice gesture and basic forms, “Figure Drawing: Gesture to Structure” is a suitable entry.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, a shareable certificate of completion is available upon finishing all lessons and assignments.
What tools do I need to start?
A pencil set (HB–6B), kneaded eraser, sketchbook, and a ruler. For watercolor: student-grade paints and a small brush set. Digital courses require a tablet and stylus.
How much time should I budget weekly?
Plan for 3–5 focused hours per week for self-paced courses and 5–7 hours for mentor-guided or live cohorts.
Do you provide feedback on self-paced courses?
Self-paced tracks include community tips and optional add-on critiques. Mentor-guided and live cohorts include structured, guaranteed feedback.
