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.

Eyon
Graduated from a digital arts school, I give digital drawing lessons
I have a bachelor's degree in digital arts, obtained at Saint Luc in 2016. During my studies I made live models, had courses in color, 2D animation, perspectives and character design. I mainly draw with a graphics tablet. During the lessons we will see how: - look at an image, understand how the artist composes it, then learn to reproduce a style. - use layers - use filters to give more life to images - learn different coloring methods, from grayscale coloring to colorization with filters - use different brushes - export illustrations in the correct formats - integrate photos into your drawings With this flexible method, I could teach you in a few lessons to discover or deepen your drawing style and improve your renderings.

Cécile

Adeline
Drawing / painting course and introduction to graphic design (photoshop, illustrator - vector drawing)
Dynamic and creative, I am very patient and I want to encourage you in a positive way and focus on the progress you are making and your strengths. After my bachelor's degree in computer graphics, I did a master's degree in communication and performing arts. I then moved to London for a few months where I started by giving French lessons via this platform. I did various internships in audiovisual centers as well as in a fablab (3D printing, laser cutting, vector design, etc.) I now work in a printing house and I give manga drawing courses in a small artistic structure. I have drawn all my life, whether on a course sheet margin, canvas, wall or graphics tablet. During my training in computer graphics, I developed better drawing techniques and I learned to use software such as Photoshop, Illustrator (vector drawing), After Effect (motion design), Premiere Pro (video editing). If you are really new to computers and more basic programs, I am also here to help. In my opinion, it is easier to learn when we talk about things that interest us. This is why I will ask you to share your hobbies and interests so that I can learn about them in order to prepare an attractive and appropriate lesson. The computer / artistic field allows us a great freedom of subject. We can try multiple techniques: whether in drawing, painting or computer graphics.

I teach the basics of drawing such as structure, composition, proportions, perspective and then sketching. We will explore the basics of comics and if the student wants to go further, I offer courses on Photoshop. Photoshop is very versatile, I teach the basics of digital painting, but also photo manipulation, mattepainting, and concept art. For the more adventurous, I propose a course of digital sculpture on Zbrush. Zbrush is a powerful program of digital sculpture, I teach to create characters, buildings, creatures (models frequently used in movies and video games today).
