MENTORSHIPS

These one-on-one mentorships are designed to suit your level and needs, whether you’re a student, professional, or an art hobbyist! We’ll start with an introduction call to assess your skill level and personal goals.

Together, we’ll work on: reviewing drawing fundamentals, improving digital painting skills, character design, narrative design, and portfolio review and presentation — all at your own pace.

Ryoma helped me to see a whole new dimension to art that I’d never considered before. He was also thoughtful and encouraging throughout my journey to new heights.

When I was looking into this mentorship with Ryoma, I felt like I was in a rut with my art. Immediately, he was very insightful and got to the core of why I felt like this. Ryoma’s mentoring is extremely unique. Not only did he help me develop my fundamentals - ultimately making my art have a better quality - but he completely changed my outlook on myself and my art. This is something so special; many mentorships are in a group setting, and analyze your art at face-value. Ryoma gets to know you individually, and helps you realize what is internally holding you back. He seemed to know exactly what I needed in terms of my art skills, as well as my emotional and mental outlook. I will definitely love to have him as my mentor again in the future.

After being plateaued on my art journey, I was recommended to Ryoma for mentorship. Not only did I gain the confidence I needed, I was able to see design in a whole new way. Ryoma will break down your process by teaching you your own methods; dissecting what is and is not working to improve and master your workflow. I came out of the mentorship rediscovering myself as a new artist.

Adam’s mentorship has helped me. I can’t put into words the value I got from it as it wasn’t simply fundamentals, skill or technicals that I came out with. Those too but so much more. I understand myself now better than before, I’ve found the first steps towards my own style, my own voice and being truly artistically free instead of being burdened by old habits, bad mindsets. Imagine having fun drawing, crazy right?
— Jason Yao
I would highly recommend Ryoma’s mentorship program. I appreciated the dedication and attention to detail that he provided. He broke down the process of character design in a way that was understandable and efficient. If you’re willing to invest the time and effort, you will get a lot out of this mentorship.
