It didn’t matter how many tutorials or online videos I watched, nothing seemed to help. Then I tried reaching out to Sonserae for one-on-one tutoring. It was the best decision I ever made! Sonserae is very knowledgeable in Photoshop and digital painting. She is kind and patient with me to ensure I fully understand everything she’s teaching me before moving from one step to the next one. I would recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn digital painting. :)

4 Painting lessons

I had been looking for a painting tutor who speaks my language because it's easier to understand. I've met her 4 times by now, and my painting skills are getting better obviously. I had hated painting lessons until I met her! She is very patient, easygoing, and intelligent. She teaches me anything I want to know. She is not only a tutor for me but also a good friend now. I'll definitely continue learning from her to make a great artwork!!
