Character Design for 2D Animation - Photoshop / Illustrator

Àpd 42.56 $ /h

My name is Virág, and I am a Visual Development Artist and Character Designer. I have honed my skills as a 2D illustrator and visual developer, working as both a character and background designer in the Netherlands. There, I contributed to a variety of projects, including music videos, informative animations, promotional videos, and posters. Notably, I worked on animated music videos for Spinning Records and Steve Aoki's '6OKI' animated music video series.

While my primary focus is on the cartoon style, I have experience in a diverse range of styles, including corporate, whiteboard animation, realistic, and children's illustration.
My journey in drawing began in my childhood, with experiences at places like 'Corvin Drawing & Design School' and 'Secondary School of Visual Arts, Budapest'. In 2019, I completed the Concept Art course at 'Mesharray, Budapest', which set me on the path to my current career.

I’m excited to share my expertise on character design for animated clips, highlighting key aspects to consider during the design process, the various styles available, and how it all comes together on screen.

I’m also offering a Photoshop and Illustrator course designed specifically for beginners who want to dive into the realm of digital drawing.

Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about something, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :)

Thank you!

It’s a good idea to invest in a digital drawing tablet, like a Wacom, for this course. :)

Discover the Enchanting World of Classical Guitar Music

29.19 $ /h

Hi, my name is Virág :)

I’m an musician from Hungary and I spent 10 years studying classical guitar starting at the age of 9. I pursued my education at the conservatory in Budapest.
If you're interested in playing classical guitar and want to feel more connected to the universe, I can teach you the basics! If you already have some guitar experience - we can check your level, and then we can take it from there. :)

I can show you how to read the notes and sheet music, but if you prefer to learn visually by copying my hand movements, that's perfectly okay too. We'll figure out which method works best for you!

I’ll teach you the fundamentals of classical guitar, focusing on fingerstyle techniques that are often found in Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and Spanish music.
Fingerstyle can definitely enhance your overall guitar skills. I'll introduce you to the instrument, show you how to hold it, tune it, and explain the strings. We will explore a classical guitar curriculum designed for beginners together.

Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about classical guitar music, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :)

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.

Do you want to edit your photos professionally or make new creations in Photoshop?

In a few private lessons I will teach you all the important skills, so that you can do everything you want.

I am an (art) photographer and teacher and I have been giving private Photoshop lessons for over 12 years.

Private lessons are available in the afternoon and evening and on Saturdays. I teach via video calling or personally in Amsterdam East.

I tailor the lessons to your needs, interests and pace so that you effectively learn what you want. I work with a minimum of two hours per lesson. Longer lessons at a time are of course also possible. Ask about special student/package prices.

In short, do you want to be able to Photoshop professionally quickly and affordably. Please contact me via the Apprentus website. And of course you can also outsource all your Photoshop work to me.

Apprentus helps us to get in touch. Payment for the extra hours is therefore made via the Apprentus website

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.

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.

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!

Photoshop est une application exceptionnelle qui permet de modifier, corriger, sublimer les photographies. Ludique, elle permet de créer des visuels personnalisés avec un large éventail de possibilités.
Indesign est quant à elle une application plus dédiée à la mise en page créative. Avec celle-ci on peut créer son propre album photo, un cv original, flyers, affiche, etc.
Les deux programmes permettent ainsi de faire vos propres projets graphiques de la photo d'ambiance à la mise en forme. Créer ainsi vos propres cartes de remerciements, de mariage, vos invitations, etc.
