What we believe

Our philosophy.

01

Creativity can be learned

You don't need to be “born creative”. Every skill we teach, from illustration to design, is a system of principles, process and practice. If you can follow a process, you can create.

02

Process over tutorials

Tutorials teach you to copy. We teach you how creative work is made, from the brief to the finished piece, so you can bring your own ideas to life without a guide.

03

AI as your creative partner

AI is now part of how creative work gets done. We teach you to use it well, for research, references, ideas and faster workflows, while the taste, judgement and craft stay yours.

04

Real-world work

Everything you learn goes into projects from real briefs: work that belongs in your portfolio and stands up in front of clients and employers.

How you learn

The learning arc.

Every course follows the same four steps, whether you’re learning to illustrate or to build a brand.

01

Concept

Understand the brief and find your idea before you touch the canvas.

02

Control

Get confident with your tools and the principles behind good work: shape, colour, type and composition.

03

Structure

Work in clear systems, with organised files, consistent style rules and a process you can repeat.

04

Confidence

Deliver finished, professional work on your own, from the brief to the final file.

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.

★★★★★
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.
