Character Design for 2D Animation - Photoshop / Illustrator

Van 42.73 $ /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!

Discover the Enchanting World of Classical Guitar Music

29.3 $ /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.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

I believe that everyone can draw. All it takes is to sit down, start, and keep practicing. I have taught myself to draw faces/portraits and that is why I am very enthusiastic about conveying my creative process to others, so that they can also get started with what they want to create.

I have developed my art and creative process throughout my life. After training at three different art academies, including Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam, I have now been working full-time as an artist for 8 years. I make my works with acrylic paint, but I still draw and sketch a lot on paper. My art style is a mix of spontaneous realism and abstract use of color, pop art and comic style.

Are you interested in being creative, even if you don't know how and/or whether you can do it yet? No problem. We will work together and you will find your way of drawing or painting.

In my art class, I will show you the step by step process of how a digital artist should work.

We will cover the fundamentals, such as proportion, perspective, local v.s global shadows, how light behaves, but also how to put a portfolio together that would awe the viewer.

Each class comes with a homework assignment that you will need to complete. These exercises are sometimes per 1 week, and sometimes per 2 weeks depending on how big the work you need to do is.

In my class you will also learn industry secrets that most school don't teach. The classes will be tailored to your needs, with fun, enthusiasm and joy.

I will help you reach that next level in your art-

I have academic teaching experience from the TU Eindhoven, where I graduated in architecture. I can teach you how to construct perspective, make concept sketches, but also how to overcome a creative block by working with the non-dominant (creative) part of your brain. My goal is to share my knowledge and passion for drawing while supporting you on your own creative path. I will focus on what feels natural for your growth. Individual approach is key to my method.

Everyone can learn how to draw. You can, too! It is your unique perception, that calls you to be expressed on paper. Listen to that voice. Allow yourself to take care of your creative dream! Contact me today and let's begin!

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!
