Are you tired of the conflicting art education info out there?
Ever found yourself bouncing between YouTube tutorials, Instagram reels and TikTok ‘hacks’ all geared to turn you into a better artist with ‘only 5 minutes of practice a day?’
(Good luck with that!)
If so, you’re in the right place. It’s my goal to help you cut through the noise and focus on timeless principles of effective picture making.
No '101 Ways to Render an Eyeball' here.
Only real deal, pen & paper tested truths I’ve absorbed from masters living and dead, as well as over 15 dedicated years of art-making.
Here at the MAKE YOUR MARK, it’s my mission to imbue you with the power to draw and paint with confidence, develop your own unique style and create work that you can be proud of.
I have a growing list of courses and programs designed to help you do just that.
Feel free to take a look at them below and get ready to banish your inner critic, sharpen your skills & share your creativity with the world!
"Vincent definitely knows what he's talking about, and I got some really great feedback and advice. I've been floundering a bit with my path as an artist for quite some time and he provided valuable insights and answers to questions I didn't even know I should be asking myself. And those answers were things that I would never have easily found on my own, but they make so much sense! Super eye-opening! So all in all, a solid 12/10 definitely can recommend!'

Hi, I’m Vincent Nappi.
I’m an artist.
I’ve worked with some incredible clients, ranging from high-end fashion to lowbrow comics, and have racked up thousands of drawings and hundreds of paintings over the past fifteen-plus years.
My mentors have included some of the most talented illustrators on the planet and I’m blessed to call many of them friends.
In the spirit of generosity and openness that each of them shared with me, I've decided to pass on what I've learned here in the Make Your Mark Academy.
I hope that you take the information that I share here and are inspired to hone your craft and lead a rich and fulfilling life.
Your friend,
Vincent
