Are you ‘stuck’ in your drawing: unsure how to continue, or how to improve it?
Is your drawing not looking as realistic or believable as you would like?

Do you wish to know:

✔️ Why your drawing is not looking realistic
✔️ What to do to achieve the result that you want in your drawing
✔️ And specifically how to do it?

If so, you're in the right place! Introducing:


Mentorship with Marina

Personalized guidance to take your work to the next level.


Work with me one-on-one! In this mentorship, I provide personalized feedback through 20-minute video critiques. These are completely customized based on what you are working on and wish to achieve.


In my experience: the only shortcut is mentorship! After all, you don't know what you don't know. Often all that's needed for dramatic improvement is for someone to point out what you can't yet see.

How Video Critiques Work

Step 1


Submit the drawing you're working on, your reference photo, and your questions.


Step 2


I provide an in-depth, 20-minute video critique that addresses your specific questions and challenges.

Step 3


Apply my advice to your drawing, and watch it improve!

Who are these critiques for?


Critiques will be a great fit for you if:

  • You are currently working on a drawing that you want to improve

  • You have specific questions about your drawing

  • You know what you want to achieve in a particular drawing but are not sure how to do it

  • You can provide a reference photo that you're drawing from (or take a photo of what you are drawing)

  • You want to take a drawing further than you have before

  • You would like in-depth feedback that you can implement right away

  • You enjoy my drawing style and/or teaching style and want to work with me

  • You have some time to implement my suggestions, as my advice will only be useful if you put it into practice!



Critiques may not be a good fit for you if:

You are looking for a structured, step by step course or program. If that is the case, learn more about Drawing Decoded here instead!

Mentorship Options:


There are two program options:

Option 1) A monthly subscription, where you can choose 1, 2 or 4 drawing reviews per month.

This is a great choice if you're:

  • Working on a project intensively for 2+ months
  • Want the accountability of knowing you need to make progress before our next critique, and/or
  • Are looking for regular, ongoing support


Option 2) Critique packages, where you can purchase 1, 2 or 4 critiques, to be used within 6 months.

This is a great choice if:

  • You're looking for a single critique
  • You'd like flexibility in your critique schedule, and
  • More drawing time in between reviews

Option 1) Monthly Subscription


What you receive:


 20-minute, recorded video critiques

Important Notes:

  • Unused critiques are not transferable to the next month. Please choose the option that best suits your schedule.
  • This is a monthly subscription, but you can cancel anytime. So, if you only need one critique - choose the single critique under Option 2 instead.
  • Sometimes, a critique only needs 15 minutes. Other times, it needs to be 30 minutes. I keep an eye on this to make sure that you receive the full time that you have invested in (for example, if you're on the weekly critique plan, by the end of the month you'll have at least 80 minutes worth of critiques).

Enroll in the Monthly Subscription Option:

Please note: These are monthly subscription options that you will be billed for until you cancel.
You can cancel anytime. Prices are in USD.

Option 2) Critique Packages


What you receive:


20-minute, recorded video critiques

Important Notes:

  • Please use these within 6 months of purchase.
