Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Photoshop is used differently for painting or drawing than it is for photo editing. I'll show you how to use all of the program's tools, but I'll also teach you how to think when it comes to game art, concept art, and illustration, whether it's for character design, creature design, environment design, or prop design. I'll also teach you all the essential industry fundamentals, such as anatomy, perspective, color and light, and composition.A graduate of the Émile Cohl School with a specialized bachelor's degree in Game Art, I have had the chance to work with more than 15 different video game, board game, trading card game (TCG) and role-playing game studios, creating concept art and illustrations for them.
Now an art teacher, I use my experience and skills, both as an artist and a teacher, to share with you all my knowledge of this subject and the gaming industry.

About Me
I'm Nassima, I am a professional concept artist, illustrator and tutor, and I am passionate about art, films and video games.Working as a freelance concept artist, 2D game artist and illustrator for 5 years has helped me to create visually stunning assets for games, and understand what it is that makes a great concept art or a great illustration. I am fully proficient in Adobe Photoshop, and I am an expert when it comes to the art fundamentals. I was also taught art traditionally, and master a variety of traditional techniques (pencil, charcoal, watercolour, gouache, dry pastel, acrylics...). Finally, I have been using Blender more and more in my process recently, which makes my teaching now more relevant.
Being multilingual (French, English, Italian, and Japanese) has equipped me with a strong understanding of how to teach people from different backgrounds, and has allowed me connect on a deeper level with my students.
Another one of my passions is music, as I sing and play the flute. There are lots of similarities between visual arts and music, which I sometimes use to teach my students who are musicians.
Finally, I am a patient teacher, I connect easily with my students and love to adapt my lessons to the needs and taste of each student for a guaranteed success.

Photoshop is used differently for painting and drawing than for photography retouching. I will show you how to use all the tools of the program, but I will also teach you how to think about game art, concept art and illustration, whether it is for character design, creature design, environment design or prop design. I will also teach you all the fundamentals that are essential in the industry, such as anatomy, perspective, colour and light, and composition.
After graduating from l'École Émile Cohl with a bachelor specialised in Game Art, I have had the chance of working with more than 15 different studios of video games, board games, trading card games and tabletop RPGs, creating concept art and illustrations for them.

Art & Creativity: From basic skills to elaborating narrativesI 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.

Visual Arts: digital arts, oil and acrylic painting, and drawingEvery class is suited towards your skill level and needs.
If you're interested in digital art, you can learn how to create digital arts using Krita, a free digital arts software that I highly recommend for it's tools and features similar to that of Photoshop's. If you already experimented on your own software, I will help you with rendering, anatomy, and composition.
If you're interested in painting, I can provide materials if needed. I am experienced with both oil painting and acrylic painting. I can help you create both Fine Arts, or illustration.
About me:
Hello, my name is Jacey and I'm currently attending NYU to get my certification to teach visual arts K-12.
The reason I want to become an art teacher is to help students develop their own style. Everybody has their own habits and tendencies when making art, and I want to help you thrive using your own style– or, if you want to become the master of realism and copying, I can help with that too. Every artists has their own goals!
I also believe in creating art as a way of a stress-reliever. If you'd like to do your own thing while having someone to listen to, I can create art by your side and talk about you!

(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.

Creation of animated characters, storytelling and IllustrationWould 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.

Creative Illustration and the Fundamentals of DrawingI'll be teaching you the subjects I can see you have most difficulty with - be it figure drawing, perspective, concept art or even going back to fundamentals as a reminder. I do both traditional and digital art, so I can also teach you how to move from one media to another without fear!
Before our first lesson
- Do you have time for homework?
- Do you prefer a more objective explanation as opposed to a more detailed one?
- Do you prefer learning all the theory first and then practicing later all at once, or to take it in small chunks?
- How experienced are you in art?
- Do you prefer a more casual class or one that challenges you every time?
Just a tiny PSA - if you're starting out from the very beginning with the fundamentals, please bear with me for a couple of classes because it will probably be super boring at first! I'll try to make it as entertaining as possible, but I'm (painfully) aware of how dull the more technical subjects can be. I PROMISE it will get better. Pinky promise.

I am particularly interested in engaging with people who work with writing and prose in their practice, or who are looking/seeking to incorporate this into their photography projects.
