Before I joined Bimbo Oni Studio I was a novice in illustration. But after graduating from the bootcamp, I can confidently say I am a professional illustrator now with a good portfolio to back it. Thank you Abimbola Ashonibare for your impact. You're the best at what you do.

Shoutout to Abimbola, she really is an amazing instructor. The day I saw her first post for cohort one, I didn't think much of it but everything changed when I started seeing the illustrations of students she taught for about two days or so. I thought to myself " If she could transform these students in just a short while , then Imagine what she can do in a month." And so I signed up for it and she surpassed my expectations. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

All I have to say is that I gained a lot of clarity about illustration from just using the pen tool to actually telling a story with it and staying consistent

Bimbo Oni Studio is fast-paced but incredibly rewarding. My growth as an illustrator has accelerated massively since joining. The live session recordings are a great touch, giving you the freedom to go back, rewatch, and practice as many times as you need. Worth every second.

I came into the bootcamp struggling with how to create vector illustration using figma, the structured workflow gave me clarity and a solid process I can now use from start to finish.
Mark
★★★★★
I honestly just joined this class because I wanted to finally master the pen tool, nothing too serious. But I ended up getting way more than that! I literally have a whole portfolio now.

My journey as a student with Bimbo Oni was a wholesome one, In the past I struggle to get references for my Illustrations and often felt stuck. After attending the class my approach to Illustrations changed for the best. The teaching style was very hands-on and intentional. Things were very easy to understand. Now I feel more comfortable to develop my own concepts and create illustrations with greater directions.
