“A really cute and fun class!” I loved watching Anna paint. She covers so many techniques, and I ended up trying things I’d never attempted before. This is a funny detail, but I love how she finishes a page and just tosses it aside—not precious, not stressed, just pure flow. That “Okay! We did it, next thing!” energy is something I aspire to.— Leah Lucci

“A wonderful class for anyone exploring inks.” There are so many interesting examples and techniques! If you’re looking for inspiration, this class is perfect—be ready to grab your ink supplies right away because every exercise makes you want to start creating. I learned so much (I didn’t even know acrylic inks existed!) and left with tons of new ideas to experiment with— Mariya P.

“This class is a golden star in the sky.” It took me a couple of months to complete, but it was an epic journey. Anna opened the door to a whole world of black and white, water, texture, and beautiful stains. You begin with a warm-up, then explore many different ways of working with ink—traditional, digital, black, white, or both! ThinkInInk changed everything for me. I no longer fear ink; now it’s my primary medium. Through this class, I discovered ink and discovered myself. Thank you, Anna, for helping me grow as an artist with your passion and calm guidance.— Isa Cienfuegos

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Procreate to take this class?
Not necessarily. Procreate is demonstrated as one of the tools, but the class focuses on narrative illustration principles that apply equally to traditional and digital media. You can use any software or traditional tools. The digital illustration is painted in the second part of the class only.
Is this class suitable for beginners?
Yes. The class is accessible to beginners, while also offering depth and inspiration for experienced illustrators. If you’re a beginner, you’ll get an overview of what is possible, and if you’re an experienced artist, you’ll gain inspiration for your own creative practice.
Is the class more traditional or digital?
Both. I believe we should embrace the challenges of traditional art to grow as artists, and expand our creativity with modern tools. These two approaches can fuel each other. You’ll see inspiration from traditional techniques alongside digital approaches.
Is this a step-by-step tutorial?
All my classes include step-by-step demonstrations. However, they are not about copying a single image, but about learning how to think creatively and develop your own visual language. My hope is that you’ll gain valuable insight to bring into your own unique creative practice.
