Character Design for 2D Animation - Photoshop / Illustrator

Von 35 € /Std

My name is Virág, and I am a Visual Development Artist and Character Designer. I have honed my skills as a 2D illustrator and visual developer, working as both a character and background designer in the Netherlands. There, I contributed to a variety of projects, including music videos, informative animations, promotional videos, and posters. Notably, I worked on animated music videos for Spinning Records and Steve Aoki's '6OKI' animated music video series.

While my primary focus is on the cartoon style, I have experience in a diverse range of styles, including corporate, whiteboard animation, realistic, and children's illustration.
My journey in drawing began in my childhood, with experiences at places like 'Corvin Drawing & Design School' and 'Secondary School of Visual Arts, Budapest'. In 2019, I completed the Concept Art course at 'Mesharray, Budapest', which set me on the path to my current career.

I’m excited to share my expertise on character design for animated clips, highlighting key aspects to consider during the design process, the various styles available, and how it all comes together on screen.

I’m also offering a Photoshop and Illustrator course designed specifically for beginners who want to dive into the realm of digital drawing.

Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about something, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :)

Thank you!

Discover the Enchanting World of Classical Guitar Music

24 € /Std

Hi, my name is Virág :)

I’m an musician from Hungary and I spent 10 years studying classical guitar starting at the age of 9. I pursued my education at the conservatory in Budapest.
If you're interested in playing classical guitar and want to feel more connected to the universe, I can teach you the basics! If you already have some guitar experience - we can check your level, and then we can take it from there. :)

I can show you how to read the notes and sheet music, but if you prefer to learn visually by copying my hand movements, that's perfectly okay too. We'll figure out which method works best for you!

I’ll teach you the fundamentals of classical guitar, focusing on fingerstyle techniques that are often found in Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and Spanish music.
Fingerstyle can definitely enhance your overall guitar skills. I'll introduce you to the instrument, show you how to hold it, tune it, and explain the strings. We will explore a classical guitar curriculum designed for beginners together.

Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about classical guitar music, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :)

The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions.
Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

You have your own project at school at work or for your club - and you are stuck, you already know a lot, but at the moment you are still missing one or the other solution, then contact me.

Or you are simply interested in Photoshop and are curious.

Are you willing to learn drawing or painting? Do you wish to improve what you already know?

I graduated from an art school where I learned all the important classical techniques of drawing, painting and sculpture. I would like to pass on the knowledge I have acquired through my studies and practice and give those who so wish the opportunity to go on a journey into the world of art and improve their language and technique.
The lessons are open to all levels.

The techniques covered range from drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastel chalk to all painting styles (watercolor, oil, acrylic, tempera). You have the opportunity to experiment on different types of paper (with different weights and colors) and canvases.

The topics change from lesson to lesson and can range from the human body to the landscape to the wildlife, depending on your preferences and desires.

Particular attention is paid to the method so that the finished work is clean, pleasant and as expressive as possible.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level.
