Student Testimonials

Chris, 23 (Marketing Agent)
Dip Pen Lineart after 1 session

"What I would normally learn from making 10 artworks by myself, I learned in just one afternoon session. The biggest difference is that I don't have to play the guessing game.

My lineart has become much more dynamic. Being able to draw live with baby8stef gave me a lot of confidence.

Dip pens are a real game changer! 💯 Drawing process forever changed. 🔥"

Sheryll, 40 (BPO Agent)
Dip Pen Lineart after 1 week

"I stopped drawing around 20 years ago and started again during the pandemic.

I’m so lucky to have picked up dip pen techniques. Super ganda ng results ng pag lining mo.

[Using dip pens] has been a great stress reliever. When you get the hang of it, it's super addicting. Promise!

Dip Pen Lineart after 2-3 months

"I thought having company while learning the course works since I have been self-taught for the longest time. The disadvantage of being self-taught is that when you get busy, art may be neglected. Compared to having classes, I get to be more motivated on pushing myself.

On a scale of 1-10 and 10 as the highest, I would rate [this course] a 10. I like the fact that we are starting it slow since need talaga yung fundamentals in drawing manga and we can see that you have put lots of effort to make this happen!"

Robbymarie (Super Mom of our Youngest Member)

"I’m grateful that we’ve found an art support system/Artillery family for my son's passion. (9 years old)

He’s confident now in his artwork unlike before. To finish one artwork, there used to be a lot of pauses, tantrums and crying.

Now, he’s eager to learn new things and trying to fit in the course."

Joshua (Masters Student)
Output after 1 session

“I started drawing anime characters when I was in high school and the only reference[s] that I used that time were videos from YouTube and How to Draw Manga [Books].

Comparing these past experiences from what we had last Saturday [during the live sessions] was different.

Iba pala ang pakiramdam kapag may nagguguide sa iyo while doing your artwork (big thanks to Sir Eck0).

I’m really thankful for the opportunity to be part of this art course or program.”

Dip Pen Lineart after 1 month

"“Dahil sa pag gamit ng dip pens, dun ko napansin ung manga ink strokes talaga. May improvement and big changes [in my art progress] dahil sa dip pen discovery. 

[There are] less struggles sa usage since na explain ni Steff ng maayos yung do’s and dont’s sa pag gamit. Kung bumili ako ng dip pens dahil gusto ko lang, di sya guguhit ng maayos kasi may proper hawak pala sya sa dip pen.


[This course is] worth it po talaga. [I had] almost no more interest of doing my own manga or to learn more about it. [My] passion [was] kinda dead na talaga then nakita ko ung FB ads nyo, it gave me a second wind to push for my own manga. 🙂  Thank you.”
