Associate illustrator in Plastic Arts, I suggest that you put my talents at your service. We can create a course together according to your project: a youth album? A comic book ? In watercolor, in collage, on computer? I can offer you exercises to help you progress or give you progressively guidance and feedback on your project already underway (workshop).

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

En terminale, la spécialité arts plastiques enseignée pour le baccalauréat repose sur une culture artistique, guidée par les programmes et des oeuvres obligatoires dont les connaissances sont évaluées lors de l'épreuve écrite de 3 h 30 ainsi que sur une pratique artistique qui débouchera sur un projet personnel à visée artistique qui sera à présenter au jury, à l'oral lors des épreuves de spécialités.

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.

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.

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.

I work as a 3D generalist for cinema and/or video games, with a specialization in 3D Layout/Préviz.

During our courses, I will teach you the techniques to create your own illustrations/projects, and allow you to discover if not improve your skills in the world of 3D.
As examples, we will learn how to use software such as Blender, 3dsMAx, Photoshop, Zbrush, Substance Painter, and many others.

I am very attentive, a teacher and I will be able to guide you and support you step by step on your desires for achievements, whether for beginners who want to discover this field, up to students who need to learn to master new skills.

My classes take place as follows:
You tell me what you would like to achieve, and we will achieve it together, otherwise I will offer you a project to create in line with your desires, while taking care to explore enough aspects to prepare you for the profession.

Looking forward to meeting you, and I hope, see you soon!

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

My name is Zuzanna, an interdisciplinary visual artist and art therapist originally from Poland.
Passionate about the links between creation, education and inner transformation, I use art as a tool for self-knowledge and healing.

My work combines artistic expression (drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, video, performance) and therapeutic support, to help each person reconnect with themselves, release their emotions and explore their creative potential.

🎨 Art Therapy Classes – A creative journey to self-discovery

Immerse yourself in a space of relaxation and inner discovery through art therapy.
No experience in drawing or painting is necessary — simply let your emotions guide your creations.

Over the course of the sessions, you will explore:
🧘‍♀️ Moments of guided meditation
🌈 The psychology of colors
✏️ Intuitive drawing
🖼️ Creative collage
🪨 Expressive sculpture
...and other art therapy techniques.

These practices will help you reduce stress, regain concentration and release emotional blockages, while developing mindfulness and self-knowledge.
Each workshop is tailored to the age and needs of the participants, and complements traditional approaches to art therapy.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous !

Artiste et professeur de dessin. Je donne des cours à domicile ainsi que des ateliers.
Titulaire de deux diplômes : dont un en arts graphiques et une certification en jeux vidéos. J'ai suivi un cursus artistique pendant sept ans. (Licence d'arts plastiques et école d'art)

J'enseigne le dessin dans sa manière globale ainsi que les fondamentaux : perspective, traits de construction.. ainsi que la bande dessinée ou encore les portraits. Je peux enseigner les méthodes dites académiques comme personnalisées et propre à chacun que ce soit avec des techniques réalistes ou cartoon.

Je guide chaque élève en observant sa manière unique de penser et de dessiner, puis je co-construis avec lui une méthode sur mesure qui respecte son geste graphique et libère sa créativité.
Mon approche combine technique, émotion et observation, pour que chaque trait compte et chaque élève progresse rapidement, en confiance et avec plaisir !
Ici, le dessin devient un espace de liberté, d'expérimentation et de compréhension incarnée.
Je m'engage également à chaque cours/ atelier d'avoir fait un travail sur lequel il ne pensait pas être capable de réaliser.

Je travaille avec tout type de profil et de niveau : Niveau, considéré comme débutant, intermédiaire, avancé, concours. Enfants, étudiant en école d'art, adultes, seniors, personne en situation de handicap.

J'accompagne chaque élève en parallèle si l'élève souhaite travailler après les cours effectué.
Je me déplace également à domicile. Possibilité d'effectuer les cours à mon domicile ou par webcam.

Je propose un cours d"essai pour apprendre à vous connaître, découvrir votre univers et vos objectifs.

A très vite,
Cindy

The program is designed for students interested in concept art, illustration, visual storytelling, and portfolio preparation for art schools, animation/game-related programs, or independent artistic development. It follows a mentorship-based approach, combining artistic foundations, conceptual thinking, and portfolio strategy, adapted to everyone's style, vision and long-term goals.

What's in it?

PART I

1. Artistic & visual language

• Traditional drawing & illustration techniques
• Shape & form study
• Light, color & values
• Composition & visual storytelling

2. World-building & visual thinking

• Environment design (natural & built spaces)
• Props, objects, and visual detail
• Character concepts (anatomy basics, silhouettes, expression)
• Style exploration (realistic, stylized, symbolic, experimental)
• References vs originality: how to build from research without imitation

3. Cognitive & creative process

• Artistic thinking & workflow
• From idea to image
• Documentation & reference gathering
• Moodboards & visual research
• Iteration, selection, refinement
• Knowing when a piece is finished

4. Digital foundations (optional / hybrid)

• Transition from traditional to digital
• 2D digital tools & workflows
• Layer logic, brushes, textures
• Digital painting fundamentals
• Presentation-ready images
• Case studies from professional concept artists & illustrators

This section is optional and may be skipped for students with prior digital experience. In such cases, the focus will be on refining and strengthening what has already been acquired.

IMPORTANT!

All sections in Part I (artistic practice, visual language, world-building, technical and digital foundations) are approached according to the student’s existing level, from beginner to advanced. If foundational skills are already present, these areas will not be repeated mechanically; instead, the focus will shift toward portfolio development, conceptual depth, and refinement of existing work.

PART II

Portfolio development & mentorship

1. Portfolio building

• Defining the student’s artistic direction
• Selecting and developing strong themes
• Creating cohesive series, not isolated images
• Aligning personal style with academic or professional expectations
• Consistent review, feedback, and refinement

2. Application-specific support (where applicable)

• Portfolio selection & sequencing
• Artist statements or motivation letters (with visuals)
• Adapting work to specific institutions or programs
• Understanding evaluation criteria
