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 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!"

"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 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."

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.
