Fine Arts artist with 2 years experience teaching realistic charcoal and observational drawing online for beginners and intermediate students seeking technical growth.

I've been taking lessons with him for a while, and they've helped me improve more than I expected. Before, I mostly copied what I saw without really understanding it, but now I pay much more attention to proportions, structure, and the small details that make a drawing look convincing.

One thing I like is that his feedback is always practical and specific. Instead of just pointing out mistakes, he explains what caused them and what I should focus on next time. That makes it much easier to improve from one drawing to the next.

I've especially noticed progress in drawing faces and observational work. Comparing my recent drawings to older ones, the difference is pretty clear. If you're looking for a teacher who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping students improve, I'd definitely recommend him.

I've really enjoyed learning from him. As someone who always wanted to draw portraits better but didn't know where to start, I found his lessons incredibly helpful. He breaks things down into simple steps and makes even difficult concepts feel manageable.

What stood out to me most was how attentive he is to each student's work. He doesn't just tell you what to fix—he explains why something isn't working and how to improve it. That made a huge difference in the way I approach drawing.

Over time, I've become much better at noticing proportions, facial features, and small details that I used to miss completely. My drawings are far more accurate now, and I feel much more confident in my abilities. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking to improve their drawing skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I've been taking drawing lessons with him for a while, and he has really helped me improve my observational drawing skills and drawing faces. Before, I struggled with proportions and seeing details correctly, but now I notice things I never paid attention to before, and my drawings look much more accurate.

He's patient, explains things clearly, and gives useful feedback instead of just pointing out what's wrong. I can honestly see a big difference between my old drawings and what I can do now. If you're serious about improving your drawing skills, especially observational drawing and portraits, I definitely recommend him.

Mikhail is a fantastic mentor who has been teaching my son for a while now, and we’ve been so impressed by his patient, encouraging style. He has a real talent for breaking down technical skills so they’re fun rather than overwhelming. A highlight for us was watching him help my son push through a piece he almost gave up on; that breakthrough really boosted his confidence and love for art. Mikhail is a true Superprof who genuinely cares about his students' growth, and I’d recommend him to any parent.

My child has had a great experience learning with Mikhail. He’s been teaching my son for a few weeks through weekly lessons, and he’s been consistently supportive and professional.

What stands out most is his teaching style. He explains concepts clearly and adapts to my son’s pace, which makes learning much easier and less stressful. Even art styles my son found difficult before started to make improve after his help.

One thing I really appreciated was how he took extra time to go over mistakes and was very patient with my son.

I’d definitely recommend Mikhail to anyone looking for a patient and effective art teacher.
