Creation of animated characters, storytelling and Illustration
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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'm Lara. I'm dedicated to character design, storyboarding and illustration. I also do training and courses on character design. 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 am currently teaching character design courses and workshops in Candelaria, to young people. I also give private classes with students of all ages and from different parts of the world, so many of my classes have been given in both English and French.

I try to do the same in my French classes, try to review the subject but encourage learning through the interests of the student. Trying to make the topics fun for them and focusing on their hobbies and helping me with songs, for example, so that the student can learn and practice pronunciation and vocabulary until the next class.

Jorge
Drawing lessons for future illustrators and artists.Hello! I'm Jorge and I'm an illustrator born and raised in Tenerife, Canary Islands.
My goal is for the student to improve and work towards their desired achievements -- whether it's just to get better at drawing, work towards making a masterpiece, or putting together a portfolio to get into their desired art school. I also have notions of graphic and web design... even murals!
In the drawing, I'd work primarily on pencils and pens. Otherwise, the medium of choice could be digital (Photoshop / Illustrator).
I've been drawing since I was a child, and I'm studying for a Bachelor's in Fine Arts at AP university. I've also worked as a creative in an Advertisement studio for 2 years and now freelance as an artist for clients.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.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.

Photoshop and Digital Art for students, artists and photographersPhotoshop 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.

Learn 3D Art with me ! Create a demo reel that employers will pay attention to with the help of an industry senior (suitable for beginners)Hello, my name is William.
As of today, I’ve been working for 11 years in the animation series and film industry as Lead and Senior Character artist, Lead and Senior Environment artist, CG generalist and CG supervisor.
I understand the challenges associated with getting noticed by studios as a beginner who want to step into the industry and I’d like to provide my help.
This is a consulting and supportive course for students and artists interested in breaking into the animation, video game, VFX and commercials industry.
This is not suitable for any professional work, as I am surely not going to do any 3D work for you :)
The course will be tailor-made, which means that I will assist and advise you with the best possible hints and tips based on your current skills and current portfolio.
I will provide you with personalized feedback to help you boost your demo reel as close as possible to the standards of the industry for you to catch the attention of recruiters and hopefully getting you a job !
The software used should be free like Blender or Unreal Engine but I can also provide help within Maya if you can afford a license for yourself. The general idea is to provide guidance to level-up to a large and accurate knowledge for you to keep progressing with your preferred software of choice.
This course is suitable for perfect beginners and hobbyists who want to turn professional. I can guide you through the numerous software out there and help you pick an industry standard and advise you on the skills you need to grow in order to create or boost your portfolio.
I am a calm person with a good temperament and will try to provide best feedback for you, let’s have fun and create together!

Online drawing class - Technics & imagination - all publicsI’m a drawing teacher and artist living in Paris. Since 6 years, I provide drawing class to many publics, from school to urban sketching sessions.
Since two years, I also give online drawing class for all public. I have an IPad, so I can share my screen to guide my student by drawing directly on it and show them some drawing technics as if we were on the same spot.
Learning drawing is half about learning basics technics, like perspective, contrasts and human form, and half about trusting your own vision, by observation work or imagination exercices. My teaching program is always a combination of those elements.

Drawing and Painting Lessons: Developing Your Unique Visual LanguagePainting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.
From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.
Caterina
Creative drawing & animation instructor for all levelsTalent 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.
