Tim - The Art Nest Reviews 34

The most accurate description of this mentorship could be “a beacon of hope in this awful industry situation” to know what could improve our portfolio to get access to jobs. The fact that there’s an actionable analysis process and “plan” (no spoiler) will help you regain control of the process/portfolio which is really positive and good for morale/peace of mind. Class format is really nice and dynamic and helps to get the ball rolling.

In addition to the portfolio crafting support (and continuous feedback) given by Tim, he’ll help you understand the process of application in detail, help you with your CV and being more diplomat. Tim also goes all out to improve the content of the mentorship following discussions and data coming from collecting industry insights. There’s also the community. You can come and see with the free course and the Discord link if you’re curious, I do think it’s helpful.

Do I regret not having taking this course before I did? Definitely. The results are there. If you feel lost you’ll learn new things and it will change your life. Getting help of the community you’ll get where you want to be in the end.

The no bulls**t guide to enter the industry.

Tim is a great mentor and gives his 200, if not 300% in order to really make his mentees reach their ultimate goal. He's always trying to bring new resources, new learing material, new opportunities to the table and you can really tell he does this because he REALLY wants you to make it in the industry.

He's not focused on making money from this, but he's really focused on giving you real, simple, comprehensible advice on how to grow as a professional, and his attitude is like the one of a friend.

The fact that the mentorship has limited spots further proves how much value you can get out of this, as he does this in order to make sure that he has sufficient time to dedicate to his mentees

I was feeling lost and overwhelmed, not knowing what the heck to do with thousands of possible directions to go to .. but Tim (even with the first video) showed me where I was wrong and where to confidently head without hopping from a random tutorial to another ...
I am currently crafting my portfolio with the help of his free course and will apply for the mentorship when my works are ready for junior level!

I have watched tons of tutorials and have taken a lot of courses, but none of them had such a huge impact on me as it was at ArtNest. My life has been divided into before and after. Tim has developed a truly unique course that focuses on structuring and understanding what needs to be done to get a job in the industry. Before, I was way too worried about technique and skills. I would've spent another couple of years trying to perfect my portfolio for nothing if I had not met Tim. He has helped me to realize that I already have all the ingredients and now only need to implement them in the right direction. Now I can see where to focus and how to plan my portfolio. Needless to say, Tim is extremely supportive and truly cares for his students. I can only wish I had met him earlier. This isn't just a course, this is a community of truly passionate artists where we learn together, support each other, share our achievements, and reach new goals. Without any hesitation, I advise everyone eager to start their journey toward becoming a professional concept artist to take this course and join our incredible community!

First of all, I'd like to thank Tim for his contagious energy and passion. This is the first time I've been mentored. I went in with a blurred vision of my work and came out more enlightened than ever.

Tim has an eye for detail and a very structured approach to teaching. What's really important in these sessions is the patience and kindness he shows, which perfectly defines his desire to help the community move forward.

Joining Tim's mentoring program was the best decision I ever made as it gave me the confidence and professional skills I needed to enter the industry.
Not only Tim's regular follow-up, but also the support of the mentees is truly motivating.

Tim is the mentor I would recommend to anyone who wants to move up the ladder with a clear goal in mind.

When I first contacted Tim regarding mentorship, he gave me thorough and informative feedback on the spot. Just by seeing his answer and how genuine he feels about teaching, I immediately realized he can help me pushing my work to next level.

The mentorship classes are sometimes rough, and could have some pills that are hard to swallow, but that may be some of the most important stuff to learn. Tim is one of the best mentors I have had, and you can immediately hear his passion in his teachings, from all the informative and useful tips, to motivating speeches.
But still, the progress that is made is mostly on you. If you decide to push your limits, learn and strive to get better, you won’t even realize how fast you can tighten the gap between your work and work of the people you admire. The mentorship teaches you how to see and analyze work, and how to learn on your own properly.
The whole community of artist that has been built within this mentorship, is so supportive and positive, and is such a healthy environment to grow, Tim should definitely be proud of what he as built.
And I am extremely happy I stumbled upon the mentorship, and as I am still working on the portfolio, I can’t wait to see final result and progress that has been made because of this opportunity!

Before mentoring with Tim, becoming a Concept Artist seemed like a dream more than a possibility. I wanted to change careers and pursue my dream job but I had no idea where to even start. Through the course, conversations with Tim and my fellow mentees, the mystery of how to get into the industry was dispelled. He provided clear methods of how to assess my own skills, set achievable goals, and plenty of resources to help me on the path. Even more than that, I made great connections with fellow artists and I have gained a community with like minded people around the world. The mentorship has been an incredibly valuable experience!

There is a before and after having taken this mentorship.
It is very clear and precise the learning method that it offers us, helping us to develop more analytical and efficient thinking and as a result to be able to work more intelligently.
Apart from the artistic side and the work or business side in the artistic field, it has been a great help for me to gain confidence in myself, taking me to my limits and helping me to discover my potential.

If you're stuck and have no idea how to leap your work and even if you don't know how to start your portfolio to make that leap into the industry, this mentorship is for you.

This mentorship was the reassurance and clarity I desperately needed. I gained an understanding of what is required to progress and eventually succeed. Everything was presented at a reasonable pace that I could keep up with with a full time job thanks to Tim being very accommodating.
Great experience and community of like-minded people to share the journey with.

My experience with the mentorship has been exceptionally positive. This program is designed to cultivate the right mindset for artists in the game industry, so that they are moving in the correct direction. The main goal in this mentorship is on fostering critical thinking and autonomy for becoming a self-sufficient artist. Tim helped me a lot during the sessions when I was confronted with certain aspects related to art and outside of art.

The mentorship program offers comprehensive, step-by-step guidance and a wealth of resources to facilitate personal development. I can confidently say that Tim has contributed to my growth. For those who feel uncertain, lost, or in need of professional guidance for their career, I believe that this mentorship is a worthwhile investment!

My experience with this mentorship has surpassed what I expected, aside from growing technical skills, I’ve learned so much about a way of creating a path to achieve my goals as an artist for video games and films. With so many resources shared from Tim, I now have knowledge on the business side of art and what advantages could an artist have in order to be competitive. Even with the mentorship concluded, I just keep growing within The Art Nest community. ...It’s more than a mentorship.

During this mentorship, you'll be confronted to your limits, and it's not gonna be pleasant. However, you are going to make progress.

Tim gives you guidelines to follow to analyze and improve your skills, but doesn't spoon-feed your work. I went to a very good Art school, but I didn't get what Tim gives you. If you are a self-taught, it's worth it.

Be careful though, mentorship requires solid foundations in academic artistic fundamentals and Tim will not always explain basics. The purpose of the mentorship is to give you the bridge to the industry.

The amount of progress I made is really amazing. A lot of the mentorship is making sure that you're pointed in the right direction. I had been practicing with lessons that were almost purely technical and had felt very lost. It's not just about doing the right things but also stopping yourself from doing the wrong things that waste time and effort. There were big spans of time we didn't draw during the mentorship, but when we did draw I instantly saw great improvement in my art. For anybody feeling lost it really can be as simple as having a professional bring that level of clarity. Tim was also incredibly easy to talk to, discussing not just the technical aspects but the industry aspects in a way that was very approachable. When you take the mentorship, be patient and trust the work being given even when is isn't strictly drawing work and it will improve your art for sure, it's all relevant. I 100% recommend this mentorship.

This mentorship really helped me make some things click in my head in order to grow as an artist. The amount of motivation and focus I found with the people participating were amazing.
