Hello,

Let me introduce myself, Marylène, professional storyboarder, graduated in animation cinema.

I offer serious drawing lessons adapted to the level of the student, from the beginner to the young professional through the animation student.

During the first lesson, we will talk about the student's expectations and set the artistic objectives by defining a personalized program. I would assess the level of the student, his strengths and weaknesses for a tailor-made course, taking into account to nourish his universe and his sensitivities with a background both cultural and technical.

I teach both the basics of solid drawing to beginners (perspective, proportion, composition, volume, anatomy, gesture, posing, principles of animation ...) as well as to students / future students in animation cinema, to young professionals who want to specialize in storyboard or who have questions about how to develop a TV pitch.

For the storyboard part, my specialty, I will teach the basics of cinematographic language (types of framing, transitions, camera movement ...) and I will follow with basic exercises to be able to make parts of portfolio.

Indeed, I can also support the student for the realization of a portfolio / demoreel for animation schools. I could guide him to feed and build his book taking into account the expectations of schools and studios.

I travel to Lyon for a travel fee, and also give online lessons via Webcam and screen sharing on Skype.

Students will have free follow-up by phone, email, whatapps or facebook as well as personalized feedback on the exercises.

My teaching areas:

- Academic drawing
- Preparation for entry to art schools
- Dynamic Posing / Gesture
- Storyboard
- 2D animation
- Pitch TV series
- Integration into the professional world (portfolio / demoreel / CV) French and English.

We'll start with the essentials, including navigating the After Effects interface, importing footage, and creating compositions. From there, we'll cover key animation techniques, including keyframes, easing, and masking. You'll learn how to add and manipulate text and graphics, work with layers and blending modes, and create basic effects like motion blur and camera shake.

Throughout the course, you'll get plenty of hands-on practice, applying what you've learned to real-world scenarios and projects. By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and confidence you need to create your own dynamic motion graphics and visual effects projects using After Effects.

Whether you're a video editor, motion designer, or just someone looking to add some new skills to your toolkit, this course is perfect for anyone who wants to learn the basics of After Effects. Sign up today and start creating your own stunning visual effects!

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.

Talent doesn’t matter. Natural predisposition doesn’t exist.
Drawing is a skill you can learn at any age. If you want to give shape to your ideas, you’re in the right place.
My goal is to help each person develop their own expressive abilities, offering them the tools they need to grow confidently.
Each lesson is tailored to the student and shaped by the connection we build together. We can focus on the fundamentals — like anatomy, shading, and perspective — or take a more expressive, storytelling-driven approach through comics and illustration.
My lessons are open to people of all ages and learning styles, including those with special needs.
Learning to draw means learning to understand yourself and the world around you.

My teaching method is deeply student-centred. I believe that each person who chooses to draw is moved by a unique intention, whether it's mastering technical skills or exploring their own world through visual storytelling. That's why I tailor every lesson to support the individual goals of each student.
For those who are more interested in improving their technical abilities, i provide structured, didactic materials. These include selected resources from established drawing manuals, as well as my own handouts and exercises focused on essential techniques such as anatomy, perspective, shading, the use of different tools and materials and much more. My aim is to make complex topics accessible and rewarding to learn.
For students who are more interested in self-expression and storytelling, we work with creative expression exercises. These activities are more emotional and intuitive, designed to help students put themselves into their art, exploring their own identity, style and imagination.
In all cases, I foster a safe and inspiring space where students can grow at their own rhytm, not following a one-size path.
