Feedback
Hello, Elina, it was a pleasure to attend your Sketchbook workshop! Your teaching style and communication are fantastic, and the various exercises you assigned were truly inspiring! Filling an entire sketchbook seemed impossible before taking your workshop, but now I'm overflowing with inspiration! I'm really looking forward to your next workshop, maybe in Italy! Thanks for all the advice and tips you shared with us - a real treasure!

It was amazing! I participated in two marathons and loved both! The second marathon, where we drew every day for a month, was something! For me, It marked a major turning point in my drawing. That’s when I started drawing without fear of making mistakes, stopped doubting myself, and just practiced. I participated every single day, and it really paid off. During that marathon, I grew so much as an artist. The atmosphere was incredible! The participants’ work was truly amazing, and everyone was so friendly and fun that I didn’t even hesitate to share something that “didn’t turn out perfect.” I highly recommend it—there was so much learning, fun, and enjoyment! In that marathon, everyone won!

Oh, wonderful! Finally! For me, the previous marathon was a real breakthrough. It was extremely interesting. The work I created for the marathon greatly advanced my portfolio and gave a fresh boost to new ideas. Later, these works even participated in a national illustrators’ exhibition, so of course I will gladly take part in the new marathon. I really enjoy the variety of themes and prompts offered to participants. Eleni Ellis’s marathon stands out as especially valuable compared to other drawing challenges.
