What Students Say:
"Martyna is a really great teacher - you can tell that she is very passionate about her craft, and there is no doubt that she knows what she is talking about. One thing I especially appreciated about her way of teaching is how much she values each student's individual progress. She puts a lot of effort into giving constructive feedback during exercises, as well as tailoring the classes to the goals and interests of the students, which I found extremely helpful. On top of that, her amount of professional experience with Fashion Illustration makes her the perfect person to go to for advice, if you're aspiring to work in fashion. Would definitely recommend!"

"All in all, I enjoyed your class very much. It was challenging and very rich in learning. I got introduced to a lot of new techniques and media that I am looking forward to experimenting with. I loved the fact that we had to go back to the basics and deal with hands, feet and perspective. The emphasis you put into the fact that we all have different styles was great. There was never a time where I felt like I wasn't helped and I never had the feeling of being talked down to or anything like it. I could feel and hear how you wanted us all to develop, experiment and grow as illustrators. Your energy was always very high and positive and that was so great to experience. Your presentations were very well put together and you could see that it was yours and that you put a lot of work into them. I would definitely recommend your class!"
