Digital Arts and Animation Lessons for Young Adults

Come and discover digital arts, animation and illustration with me. I am an artist that works in digital and traditional illustrations. You can enjoy with me the world of the line, shapes, colours and even stories using different kind of techniques such as pencil, ink, markers, watercolour and colours. We can also use in the digital world Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator. clip studio, paint, medibang paint and Firealpaca.

Digital art requires no less skill than traditional art making, but it does require a different mode of thinking. Yes, a digital device will have the ability to make a stroke look and layer like watercolour or give the texture of drawing with charcoal. However, when one learns traditional art techniques, they gain a deeper understanding of the materials and what they can do.

Extra information

Bring your own set of materials for the type of technique you want to learn.
Bring your own laptop and tablet if you want to learn digital.

Very happy with Julia
Julia is a great teacher! They have taught me a lot about drawing in only a few lessons, so I'm looking forward to seeing how my skills develop further with their help :)
Julia was very interactive, engaging and she kept the content interesting. Louise
Julia is great with kids, ask questions and stimulate them. I thought she was creative and sensitive to deal with my daughter’s age and needs
Julia is really nice with the kids and is always on time
I am an American who can help you to reduce your accent and speak fluent. I was born in Denver, Colorado and I could interact with you playing games, listening activities, or learning about American culture like history, or US government. I love road trips so we can talk about different places and learn about them. I like in my classes also to listen and sing to reduce accent and improve pronunciation. It will be fun!!

Daniel
(Digital) Art classes for art lovers and beginners.
Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it! Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city. I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational. I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across. I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Jordi
Traditional and digital drawing courses. (beginners, intermediates)

I have a bachelor's degree in computer graphics, animation and illustration since 2019. I teach drawing in general and the use of the Adobe suite (including Illustrator and Photoshop, the most popular digital drawing software). To establish your program, tell me what you want to work on and I will write your lessons accordingly. The first lesson will be used to see your level. Looking forward to working together!

Lessons privées de peinture et dessin numérique pour l'industrie du jeu vidéo et de l'illustration
Photoshop est utilisé différemment pour peindre ou dessiner qu'il ne l'est pour la retouche photographique. Je vais vous montrer comment utiliser tous les outils du programme, mais je vais également vous apprendre comment penser quand il s'agit de game art, de concept art et d'illustration, que ce soit pour la conception de personnages, de créatures, d'environnements ou de props (accessoires). Je vous enseignerai également tous les fondamentaux indispensables dans l'industrie, tels que l'anatomie, la perspective, la couleur et la lumière, et la composition. Diplômé de l'École Émile Cohl avec un baccalauréat spécialisé en Game Art, j'ai eu la chance de travailler avec plus de 15 studios différents de jeux vidéo, de jeux de société, de jeux de cartes à collectionner (TCG) et de jeux de rôle, en créant pour eux des concept art et des illustrations. Aujourd'hui professeure d'art, j'utilise mon expérience et mes compétences, à la fois en tant qu'artiste qu'enseignante pour partager avec vous toutes mes connaissances de ce sujet et de l'industrie du jeu.

Art & Creativity: From basic skills to elaborating narratives
I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style. For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Frédéric
Artistic drawing for demanding enthusiasts or future/current art school students
Based on long-term experience among all audiences and in-depth knowledge of traditional or modern tools, I like to bring together all these areas to experience Art in its beautiful part of creation. My course is focused on the desires for expression and research formulated by the students. Nothing pleases me more than allowing you to access what attracts you most in the narrative image (comics, illustration, Concept Art). We will address together both character issues (anatomy, stylization, etc.) and settings (perspective, landscapes, etc.). I put the desire of my students at the heart of the learning process.

William
Create a demo reel that employers will pay attention to with the help of an industry veteran (suitable for beginners)
Hello, my name is William. As of today, I’ve been working for 11 years in the animation series and film industry as Lead and Senior Character artist, Lead and Senior Environment artist, CG generalist and CG supervisor. I understand the challenges associated with getting noticed by studios as a beginner who want to step into the industry and I’d like to provide my help. This is a consulting and supportive course for students and artists interested in breaking into the animation, video game, VFX and commercials industry. This is not suitable for any professional work, as I am surely not going to do any 3D work for you :) The course will be tailor-made, which means that I will assist and advise you with the best possible hints and tips based on your current skills and current portfolio. I will provide you with personalized feedback to help you boost your demo reel as close as possible to the standards of the industry for you to catch the attention of recruiters and hopefully getting you a job. The software does not really matter, the general idea is to provide a large and accurate knowledge for you to keep progressing with your preferred software of choice. This course is suitable for perfect beginners too as I can guide you through the numerous software out there and help you pick an industry standard and advise you on the skills you need to grow in order to create or boost your portfolio. I am a calm person with a good temperament, let’s have fun and create together!

Lara
Creation of animated characters, storytelling and Illustration
Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine? Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters? If you have those concerns, I would love to help you. I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels. I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story. I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French. I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.
