Student can establish the focus of each session with the instructor. For instance, they can choose to create or design a new character,  creating a story, the rendering style of one or a set of characters, etc. A goal will be given to the students for each lesson.  

Student should also expect to be given some homework which will help to reinforce what was learnt.  

All classes will be hosted via Zoom with the webcam on both the instructor side and the student side.  Using a webcam or sharing a PC screen, the teacher can demonstrate live drawing as necessary, and student can also share their work with the instructor in real-time with webcam. (recommended).

To enrich the one-on-one experience, course material prepared by the instructor for all private lessons and the recording of all private lessons will be made available to all students. 

All lessons will be recorded, and you can DL it from your google drive. The data will be overwrote every week, so if you'd like to keep it, DL it in your local folder.

All the drawings which the teacher produced during a session will be scanned in high resolution (200-400 dpi) /or export Jpeg or ping, and stored in Google drive. Students will be given the access to all course materials including all drawings done by the instructor during the lessons. (Part of the drawing in low resolution may be posted on School website)

Students will be asked to scan and upload their work onto the Google Drive for the instructor. All scanning should be done at 300 dpi and save in JPEG format.
