"Peter Sakievich was pivotal to my art education and development as an illustrator, painter, concept artist and provided great guidance as an artist in general. He is a patient teacher, and has many insights and is full of knowledge and resources to share. Not only does he know what to teach, he can put it into practice and demonstrate how these techniques or ideas can be applied."

"What I loved about working with Peter is how down-packed his methodology is. He’s able to meet you exactly where you are on your artist’s journey, help set/reset a good foundation, and push you to build better structures on that foundation with concise (and usually very funny) critique."
