important!
I am not currently taking on any mentees and I will not be replying to any emails about this until I open applications again. Thank you for understanding!
A Mentorship tailored to your goals!
Have a project you want to start but are too scared, keep procrastinating working on that one drawing or feel stuck in your art journey? This mentorship can help support and push you to get to your goal sooner! Not just for one piece of artwork but general style development, storytelling, book projects, Kickstarters even creating a shop.
To become a mentee & for more information please use the contact form or email mentorship.dinanorlund@gmail.com
Includes
Weekly one-on-one video call where we review your goal and improvement (4 per month, as many hours as we need!)
Private chat where you can ask me anything at any time! Quick paint-overs, feedback and direction.
Weekly/bi-weekly assignments tailored to your goals if needed! Sometimes we just need weekly goals.
Discord group to chat with other mentees.
Guidance and advice whenever you need it!
1 month - one-on-one
My mentorships are on a month to month basis. You can choose to be a mentee for just one month to get a project going or for as many months as you want! I will always be available for quick daily paint-overs and advice, in addition to our weekly calls. Always private and no other students :)
My experience
I have a background in concept art and now work full-time as a content creator online! I have my own Patreon, run Kickstarters, sell self-published books and run my own store. Interested in anything I’ve done? I can help you do it as well!
No pre-recorded lessons
I believe that the best and fastest way to improve is to have someone to be fully invested in you and your progress. Our first weekly call will be about your goal and what you want to achieve, your inspirations and goals. We will adjust our calls, weekly chats and assignments to help you get to where you want to be sooner! It’s hyper-focused on you and your goals and no preset pre-recorded lessons.

FAQ
Who is it for?
This is for artists who are looking to make their artwork more appealing or need guidance in a projects such as children’s books, comics and portfolios. Both for hobbyists, art students and professionals.
When does it start?
The start date is decided by the mentee and mentor. It can be as short as 1 month or as long as 1 year, up to you!
what is the price?
I don’t have a price set, it depends on your goal and what you need. Please use the contact form and we’ll discuss it!
can I get a refund?
No, the initial contract will be non-refundable. One month is the minimum. There are some exceptions where I will allow a refund!
How do I pay?
There will be a monthly invoice issued through PayPal or any other invoicing service that we decide works best.
do I have to pay in GBP?
No, I work in GBP because I work in England! We can figure out the rate in other currencies and what works best for both of us.
What tools do I need?
You can use any tools you like! Digital or traditional, though I am more familiar with digital. The tools I know and have used a lot are Photoshop, Krita and Procreate.
What do I get?
You get someone to throw ball with, find new and exciting ideas on how to improve and start projects! I will always be on hand to answer any questions when you need me, in addition to the weekly video call.
Can i do the mentorship at the same time as work/school?
Yes! We can adjust the workload to the time you have available to spend on your art every week. For art school, I can also help be a second opinion on any assignments you have.
How much time do I have to spend each month?
The more time you put towards your mentorship the more you will get out of it! There is only so much I can do, you yourself has to put in the effort and work ethic to get yourself towards your goal! I am there to guide you there quicker.
Will this guarantee me a job/stable income?
No, I cannot guarantee that you will be accepted to any job, school or be able to sustain yourself fully after this mentorship. But, I can guarantee you will see an improvement in your art and hopefully a growth on your social media (if this is one of your goals)
Do you accept anybody who applies?
No, I take this very seriously and I will only take on mentees I know I can help. I do not want to let someone pay me a mentorship fee when I know that it might not work out. I need to know you’re as serious as I am when it comes to helping you improve! We will figure this out during the first few emails after you fill out the form below.
How many mentees do you have at one time?
I only have a maximum of 3 mentees per month. I want to make sure I have enough time to fully devote to each of my mentees every week!
Can we still keep in touch afterwards?
Yes of course! I will be fully invested in your journey and will probably bother you asking for updates now and again ;)
