I have a decade of experience in costume design for theatre and in recent years I have been specializing in digital couture. I am a visiting lecturer in Estonian Art Academy, and as an artist, actively exhibiting in Paris and Europe. I am going to give you all the knowledge necessary to become an Artist with strong technical skill set. I guide students through the entire design journey—from mood boards and storytelling to digital sketches, 3D patterns, and photorealistic virtual garments. I can take your artistic ambitions even further, helping you visualize costumes in diverse environments and craft dynamic, creative fashion films. I will help you in developing a strong creative vision with advanced technical proficiency to bring ideas vividly to life. I genuinely enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and skill levels, and my favorite part of teaching is inspiring others while helping them navigate the complexities of 3D fashion. Whether you want to enhance your skills, learn new techniques, or get guidance on portfolio preparation and 3D software, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I guide you through the full process of digital fashion design:

*Concept & Storytelling → mood boards, narrative, creative direction
*Sketching & Design → digital sketches and costume ideas (Photoshop and AI tools).
*3D Pattern & Virtual Garment → CLO3D step by step
*Advanced 3D Workflows → Cinema4D & Photoshop for rendering, CGI details, AI workflows
*Fashion Video Editing → Adobe After Effects for portfolio-ready presentations

Teaching style
I tailor each session to your goals — whether you’re a beginner or aiming for a professional portfolio. You’ll learn not only the software, but also how to think like a designer and tell stories through your digital garments.

Why learn with me?

*Strong mix of artistic + technical expertise
*Hands-on guidance across the whole creative pipeline
*Supportive teaching style to build both skills and confidence

Whether your goal is your first digital collection, a fashion portfolio, or advanced 3D storytelling, I’ll help you create it step by step.

Acerca de mí

I am Maarja (artist name: Marie von Voxel) — a costume designer and 3D artist with over a decade of experience in theatre costume and a recent focus on digital couture. I am a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and exhibit my work across Europe. I combine a strong practical production background with contemporary digital workflows to help students turn ideas into finished garments and visual stories.

What I teach
• Concept & storytelling — moodboards, narrative and creative direction.
• Sketching & design — digital sketching, Photoshop and AI-assisted ideation.
• 3D patterning & virtual garments — step-by-step CLO3D workflows.
• Advanced 3D pipelines — Cinema4D, Photoshop for photoreal rendering and CGI details.
• Fashion presentation — editing and motion techniques to create portfolio-ready video reels (After Effects).

Teaching style
I tailor every lesson to your goals and level — from focused technique sessions to full portfolio projects. My approach balances creative exploration with hands-on technical guidance so you not only learn software, but also how to think like a designer and tell stories through garments. I work patiently and practically, helping you build confidence and professional-ready work.

For young learners (kids & beginners)
I run playful, project-based classes for children who love costumes, crafts and fashion. Lessons introduce basic fashion sketching and simple sewing (hand and machine) using age-appropriate projects like accessories, simple vests or decorative patches. The emphasis is on creativity, safety, and visible progress: each class is designed so a child finishes with a small handmade piece and renewed enthusiasm for design. In addition, I also teach young students digital fashion in an art school setting, preparing them to become the next generation of designers. I keep explanations simple, encourage experimentation, and offer gentle technical instruction so young students feel proud and motivated.

Why learn with me
• A rare mix of artistic vision and technical expertise.
• Hands-on guidance across the whole creative pipeline — from concept to finished artifact.
• Flexible lessons for hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and kids who want a friendly, creative start.

Whether you want an advanced digital collection, portfolio coaching, or a fun, practical introduction to sewing and fashion for a child, I’ll support you step by step. Send me a message about your goals and we’ll plan the best next lesson.

With over a decade of professional experience in theatre costume and a recent specialization in digital couture, I teach portfolio development the way schools expect it: concept-led, visually strong, and technically confident.

Le déroulement des cours et les contenus s'adapten au niveau et aux intérêts de l'élève. D'un côté, il y a des gens qui viennent avec des projets spécifiques liés à la mode ou au design, et dans ce cas, je vous accompagne pour les réaliser, en vous apprenant les utiles les mieux adaptés à ce propos.

D'un autre côté, il y a des élèves qui préfèrent apprendre le stylisme et le modélisme de façon plus large, donc ils suivent les contenus graduellement : dessin de figurines, les bases de la coupe-à-plat (jupe, chemise, robe, veste), couture...

Il s'agit de séances personnalisées pendant lesquelles vous travaillerez pour libérer votre créativité, et pouvoir ensuite continuer à avancer de votre côté. En fonction des sujets abordés lors de la séance, je vous enverrai par mail à l'avance le matériel théorique (et autres) dont on aura besoin. On travaillera via Skype ce qui nous permettra de partager notre écran, si besoin.

Pendant ces derniers mois j'ai testé ce format et il fonctionne vraiment très bien, nous permettant d'aborder des sujets de recherche d'inspiration, création d'une collection de mode, techniques de dessin de figurines de mode, peinture et travail sur logiciels tels que Photoshop et InDesign.

Come and discover digital arts, animation and illustration with me. I am an artist that works in digital and traditional illustrations. You can enjoy with me the world of the line, shapes, colours and even stories using different kind of techniques such as pencil, ink, markers, watercolour and colours. We can also use in the digital world Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator. clip studio, paint, medibang paint and Firealpaca.

Digital art requires no less skill than traditional art making, but it does require a different mode of thinking. Yes, a digital device will have the ability to make a stroke look and layer like watercolour or give the texture of drawing with charcoal. However, when one learns traditional art techniques, they gain a deeper understanding of the materials and what they can do.

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.

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.
