Learn to make drawings/sketches with pencil and graphite (9H to 12B).

Each session will allow you to discover and practice a specific technique. Between two sessions, targeted exercises will allow you to progress in a measurable way, in small steps.

In drawing, there are no miracles: it is practice, training, perseverance, which are the sources of progress.

All materials will be provided to you (pencils, papers).

During the first session, a series of examples of my creations will offer you a concrete overview of the techniques and styles that I can help you master.

Drawing & Sketching: Training the eye, observational drawing, proportion, contrast, anatomy, light & shadow

Painting & Color Theory: Color effect, color harmony, image structure and composition

Digital Illustration: Introduction and Advanced Study in Procreate (iPad) – from Basics to Professional Application

I will tailor my approach to your individual level and goals – whether you are starting out as a beginner, want to expand your portfolio, or develop further as an artist.
