I teach adults to do things they were sure they couldn't.

For 23 years I taught adults to draw — people who arrived saying "I have no talent." My step-by-step self-study guides sold over 700,000 copies through EKSMO, Russia's largest publisher, and four of them have been translated into Chinese.

The method was never about drawing. It was about how an adult builds a complex skill from zero — without humiliation and without pretending it's easy.

Now I teach the same way for AI.
