Drawing and writing are two ancient forms of expression that many artists have used before becoming masters in their field. Traditional frame-by-frame animation (on paper or in 2D on a computer) is a less ancient process but highly instructive in the understanding of movement. This audiovisual technique obviously allows us to express ourselves in a more modern medium that combines image and sound to entertain, make people laugh, move them or transmit strong values. With 12 years of experience in the Academy of Fine Arts, a Bachelor's degree in Visual and Spatial Arts from Saint-Luc, Brussels, and a Master's degree in Animation Cinema from the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent (the oldest animation teaching department in Europe), I offer: - For beginners: an initiation and understanding of the basics of drawing from imagination and observation in order to gradually acquire an increasingly solid technique. - For intermediate/students in art education or more experienced enthusiasts: development of their already acquired techniques, correction of defects as well as help with projects requested by the school or for amateurs who wish to design a written/drawn/animated work for their pleasure. - For advanced/higher education students in ESA: sustained assistance and coaching for the development of projects whether in drawing, writing, storyboarding, animation or concept (installation, video game experience). Finally, I offer these more seasoned artists the development of their own style in order to distinguish themselves and offer a unique aesthetic for their singular point of view on the world.

A great artist should be able to draw a wide variety of subjects with confidence and creativity. This includes drawing people with accurate features and expressions, creating beautiful landscapes with depth and detail, and illustrating flowers with delicate shapes, textures and natural beauty. Good drawing skills come from careful observation, understanding proportion, practising shading and using lines effectively. Whether drawing portraits, countryside scenes, buildings, plants or flowers, a skilled artist should be able to bring each subject to life and develop their own creative style. With regular practice, students can improve their drawing techniques, build confidence and learn how to create artwork they are proud of.
