Her feedback is generous, thorough and detailed, with an astute creative observation, communicated professionally and precisely.

Thank you Anna!”
“Anna is a generous mentor, providing comprehensive notes on how to elevate each illustration, re-work pieces, enhance your characters and improve story-telling, resulting in the best and strongest pieces for your final portfolio. ”
“This course is a must for any aspiring and emerging writer and illustrator. I joined the course to mainly build upon my written skills and was so surprised at how my skills in illustrating developed over time and how much I came to enjoy it rather than doubting myself.”
