¿Quieres aprender los conceptos básicos del dibujo? ¿O ya has pasado ese nivel? ¿Quieres dibujar en papel (con lápices) o en una pantalla? ¿Quieres aprender los conceptos básicos de la animación 2D? ¿Todo por un precio muy razonable? ¡Podemos hacerlo!

Encantado de conocerte, soy Daniel. Soy profesora de arte (privada), también soy artista independiente y he estado trabajando como tal durante unos 7 años. Estoy buscando estudiantes en Utrecht, tengo un espacio de enseñanza disponible en mi apartamento (puedo compartir mi dirección cuando me contactes), pero también puedo viajar al espacio que desees dentro de la ciudad.
También puedo enseñar a través de la cámara web, pero recomiendo mis clases en persona, ya que son más inmersivas y educativas.

Desafortunadamente, no hablo holandés (todavía), pero estoy seguro de que podemos superar cualquier posible barrera del idioma que encontremos.

Tengo la mayor experiencia en la enseñanza de adolescentes y preadolescentes, por lo que creo que definitivamente seríamos una buena combinación si usted es un padre o tutor que busca un maestro para su hijo.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en preguntar.

I 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.

¿Te gustaría poder ilustrar los mundos y las historias que te imagines?

¿Quieres aprender a crear a los personajes para un videojuego, animación, cuento infantil, cómic o en cualquier formato? ¿O te gustaría poder dibujar tus personajes favoritos?

Si tienes esas inquietudes, me encantaría ayudarte.

Me gusta enfocar las clases de manera que el nivel actual de dibujo del alumno no es lo importante. El margen de mejora siempre irá evolucionando. Me gusta llevar mis clases hacia el diseño de personajes, hacia lo general como la psicología del color y las formas, ya que son conceptos asimilables y altamente útiles, independientes del nivel de dibujo. Por ello, mis clases están dirigidas a todas las edades y nivel de dibujo.

Trato también de enfocarlas hacia las preferencias y gustos de cada alumno, mostrándoles que todo lo que les gusta, les gusta por algo, que nada se deja al azar y que ellos también pueden entender cómo hacer que sus dibujos reflejen lo que quieren transmitir. Incluso, para crear sus portfolios o información visual para un proyecto o historia propia.

Doy clases particulares con alumnos de diferentes partes del mundo, por lo que, muchas de mis clases las he podido realizar tanto en Inglés como en Francés.

Estudié animación 2D en Francia, y gracias a esta formación, mi trabajo se ha nutrido del dinamismo, storytelling, la expresividad, propia de este medio, además de la sensibilidad por el color y las formas que suelo utilizar para insuflar un estilo único tanto a mis diseños originales como a mis fanarts.

Basé sur une expérience de longue date entre tous les publics et la connaissance approfondie des outils traditionnels ou modernes, j'aime à faire se rejoindre tous ces domaines pour expérimenter l'Art dans sa part belle de création.

Mon cours est axé sur les désirs d'expression et recherche formulés par les élèves.
Rien ne me réjouis plus que de vous permettre d'accéder à ce qui vous attire le plus dans l'image narrative (BD, illustration, Concept Art).

Nous aborderons ensemble aussi bien les problématiques de personnages (anatomie, stylisation, ...) que de décors (perspective, paysages, ...).

Je mets le désir de mes élèves au cœur du processus d'apprentissage.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

Je travail en tant que généraliste 3D pour le cinéma et/ou le Jeux-Vidéo, avec notamment une spécialisation pour le Layout/Préviz 3D.

Durant nos cours, je vous apprendrai les techniques pour créer vos propres illustrations/projets, et vous permettre de découvrir sinon d'améliorer vos compétences dans l'univers de la 3D.
En guise d'exemples, nous apprendrons à utiliser des logiciels tels que Blender, 3dsMAx, Photoshop, Zbrush, Substance Painter, et bien d'autres.

Je suis très à l'écoute, pédagogue et je saurai vous orienter et vous accompagner pas-à-pas sur vos envies de réalisations, que ce soit pour les débutants qui veulent découvrir ce domaine, jusqu'aux étudiants qui ont besoin d'apprendre à maîtriser de nouvelles compétences.

Mes cours se déroulent comme suit :
Vous me dites ce que vous aimeriez réaliser, et nous y parviendrons ensemble, sinon je vous proposerai un projet à créer en adéquation avec vos envies, tout en prenant soin d'explorer suffisamment d'aspects pour vous préparer au métier.

Hâte de vous rencontrer, et je l'espère, à très vite !

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. Now an Art Teacher, I use my experience and skills both as an artist and as a teacher to share with you all my knowledge of the subject and of the industry.

Ik bied creatieve lessen aan, afgestemd op jouw behoeftes en voorkeuren. Dat kan gaan over teken- en schildertechnieken, maar ook over andere materialen als klei of digitale middelen (denk aan digital art op de iPad). Samen bekijken we waar je staat, welke skills je zou willen leren en komen we tot een doel om richting te geven aan de inhoud van de lessen. Júist als je zegt 'ja, maar ik ben eigenlijk niet zo creatief' of 'ja, maar ik kan niet goed tekenen', dan ga ik enorm graag de uitdaging met je aan!

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.

3D & Technical Skills: translate ideas into virtual garments with CLO3D — patterns, fitting, and realistic digital samples.

Advanced Presentation: photoreal renders, motion/video reels, and portfolio layout (Cinema4D, Photoshop, After Effects).

Admissions Prep: portfolio sequencing, written artist statements, CV guidance, and mock admissions interviews in a professional context.

Who this is for

High-school students aiming for competitive fashion programs.

Aspiring designers who want a portfolio that balances creativity with technical evidence.

Students who use Procreate or Photoshop and want to add convincing 3D work to their application.
