Review by Gary
"I've known TIm for a couple of years, now and his artistic and illustrative skills have always impressed me. A solid dude with a friendly, laid back deme
anor, I would recommend Tim as an instructor to anyone who wants to learn more about Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop - or just art and design in general."

Review by Cindy
"I've worked closely with Tim at a kids edutainment facility a few years ago. He's both a great leader and educator. He's always coming up with new and cre
ative ideas to engage the kids and played a key role in the facility's success. My daughter would look forward to going in and learning different artistic techniques and other creative ideas from him, and i can proudly say that she auditioned for and was accepted into all of her magnet schools of choice using many of the techniques he taught her. Art has become her favorite subject, and she has a clear view of her career goals in this field, and i know Tim played a valuable role in her artistic development."

Review by Rhonda
"It's actually very therapeutic to be able to leave a review regarding Adrian Lane! It's awesome when someone is gifted in their profession and equally pas
sionate about their gift. She has a unique and creative ability to pour encouragement into her students and inspire newfound creativity in them! She's truly passionate about her gift and about her students ability to grow and flourish! She has the experience and skill-set to customize an effectively fun learning plan to perfectly fit your child's needs and abilities. When you hire Adrian you receive more than an Art Instructor - she pours love, and patience, and value, and moral into her students, as well. Her trustworthy character represents her work and her work represents her character! Actually, she and her talent is a great credit to the adult and kid alike!"

Review by Chris D.
"Tim is an excellent instructor! You can really tell he has a passion for both art and people. He's very approachable and you can ask him for feedback and
tips at anytime. I would highly recommend taking any of his courses if you are hoping to increase your knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator or are looking to have a better understanding at creating your own illustrations."

Review by Renee Rose
"Our son Christopher has been passionate about art and illustration his entire life but with traditional art instruction had become incredibly critical of
his inability to duplicate exactly what other instructors required of him. In that regard meeting Tim Long has been one of the biggest blessings for us. Tim has helped to re-build a foundation for a lifelong relationship with art. His teaching methods are creative, engaging and unlike traditional art instructors rather than coax or box-in a child's imagination he provides the freedom to explore artistic expression based on our sons perception of art. Christopher has begun to experience illustration on a completely different level thanks to Tim, learning that trial and error and problem solving are part of the process and over the past few months it has been a joy to see the artist in him blossom again!"

About Marie B.
Close While studying Fashion Design at FIDM, I discovered a passion for fashion illustration. I can help you with your fashion illustrations, drawing an elegant figure with the "9 heads" technique, and drawing beautiful, draped garments, with color and texture, and defining the silhouette.
I will introduce you to rendering the drawings with water color, color pencils, and markers. You can mix all the different media to achieve richer, more colourful patterns and textures.
Also, we will study different hair styles and how to draw different hair textures, and let's not forget about shoes for your figures.

About William H.
Close In my Illustration classes I strive to not only help you develop the skills and techniques you'll need as an illustrator but I also am here to help you land your first gig! Not only will we talk about the actual creation process but we will produce several illustrations together that hopefully can be used in a portfolio to show to friends, family, and maybe even an employer!
