About
I teach artists important foundational drawing and painting skills, visual problem solving, identifying obstacles and strategies for breaking through them, time management and professional business practices. I have online portrait classes at drawjuice dot com. You can download lessons only for self study, or you can combine the lessons with mentoring from me online via Skype.
I get a thrill out of helping others to dream and move beyond what they thought they could achieve as artists by sharing my personal life experience and professional best practices I have learned along the way as an illustrator, animator and concept artist in the field.

Chris is very responsible for all his students. When I asked for his help, he explained the steps patiently. I was his student in his figure drawing class, and he would always check on each student's drawing to give useful tips. Outside of the classrooms, Chris also posts demos on Youtube. It gave his students a chance to see his process of his illustrations from start to finish, which is truly inspiring to me. He is a very memorable teacher and his positive influence continue to make a big impact in my career path.

I really enjoyed having Chris as my figure drawing professsor and later my wedding photographer. His classroom was always welcoming, he treated us with respect and helped us learn a lot. I would definitely be up to taking another one of his classes or working with him.

Chris Petrocchi is an excellent teacher, he taught me not only how to draw, paint and create, but also how to be a thoughtful artist.
His methodology of teaching allowed for a great deal of artistic and personal growth, as well as improved knowledge of form, rendering and the underlying structure of my art.
I would not be the artist I am today without his lessons.

Mr. Chris Petrocchi is a very passionate teacher. He makes the drawing process fun yet systematic. He breaks the lessons into manageable parts and he is selfless to share his illustration tips to his students.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually have a written agreement in place before we start the lessons so that both parties are clear what to expect. My price structure is based on packages that start at 10 lessons, 20 lessons and beyond if the student wants to study longer. The more courses purchased the price goes down.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I do an intake and find out what the customer's needs are– what they most want to learn. I will have them do a drawing for me, usually in pencil of a human face or something they have interest in, for approximately an hour so I can find out where they currently stand with their drawing skill set. This step is really important as it helps me target and focus a curriculum that is best suited for the individual.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Bachelors degree in Illustration from San Jose State University. I have worked in animation and games since 1993 as an animator, director, storyboard artist and concept artist. I have taught and lectured on drawing, figure drawing, portraiture and concept art both here in the States and abroad in China.
