Tepor's 4-Month Transformation

I’m excited to share an inspiring transformation from one of my students, Tepor — who, in just 4 months, took his eye drawings, and overall drawing skills, to a whole new level:

Tepor first found The Drawing Source in August 2024 and started studying my free resources, including my mini-course and step-by-step eye drawing tutorial.

Within a month he had sent me the second drawing in the image above, and was clearly making visible progress. When I saw it, I knew he had potential — and that with the right guidance, he could quickly make serious progress.

So, when he enrolled in the Eye Drawing Intensive Plus program (which includes 5 one-on-one critiques with me) in September 2024 - I was delighted!

Over the following months, Tepor dedicated himself to:

✅ The Eye Drawing Intensive
✅ The Foundations of Drawing Technique course, and
✅ Intro to Smooth Shading in Graphite (both included with the Intensive to build essential skills)
✅Submitting his drawings to me for one-on-one review and feedback
(as part of the Eye Drawing Intensive Plus program)

Just 4 months after starting the program, in January 2025, Tepor sent me this message alongside his latest drawing (below):

"Four months ago, I never would have believed this was possible."

I wasn't surprised - I had seen his potential from the beginning - but I was absolutely thrilled by his progress.

Tepor says about his experience in the Eye Drawing Intensive and Intro to Smooth Shading courses:

"The holy grail of this journey, for me, has been achieving likeness and accomplishing smooth shading.

Drawing is finally the enjoyable and rewarding pursuit I always wanted it to be, and that never would have happened without your invaluable, one-on-one support, guidance and encouragement.

Thank you so much for everything. This experience has literally been life-style altering for me. I spend my time drawing now, because I can. You've given me a real gift." -Tepor E., Eye Drawing Intensive and Intro to Smooth Shading in Graphite student

My heartfelt congratulations to Tepor, who I'm delighted to still be working with, in another program.

If you’ve ever wondered how far you could take your drawing skills in just months, I hope Tepor’s story shows you what’s possible with a structured program, dedicated practice rhythm, and expert guidance and support.

Vered's 4-Week Transformation

The first time I launched the Eye Drawing Intensive as a live, 4-week course, Vered joined that very first cohort.

She brought incredible enthusiasm and focus - completing every assignment in the Eye Drawing Intensive, submitting her eye drawings to me for review, and working through the Intro to Smooth Shading in Graphite course - all in those 4 weeks!

Her results were outstanding:

Vered says about her experience:

"During the first session, and by the end of it, I felt pure gratitude and appreciation. It's one thing to recognize great artists, however, it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be great instructors. Marina is both!

Reading her emails I sensed that I found the right place and person to learn from. The first session proved my assumptions as correct.

During class, I enjoyed the constructive, meaningful, and clear explanations of eye anatomy with excellent references. Most helpful were the visual images along with Marina's guidance and demonstrations."

Monica's Eye Drawing Transformation

Monica took the Eye Drawing Intensive inside the Creative Drawing Studio - my small-group membership for artists looking to develop a consistent drawing practice, improve their technique, find their artistic voice, and create a body of work that's unique to them. It's also an all-access pass to the courses and programs that I offer.

Look at the incredible depth, realism and expression Monica now achieves in her eye drawings:
