Illustration, Drawing & Procreate – Individual coaching from an experienced illustrator Do you want to specifically improve your drawing skills, expand your creative expression, or prepare for a design degree? I can support you with in-depth expertise, personal guidance, and extensive experience! I am a freelance illustrator with a Bachelor's degree in Art Education (ZHdK) and a Master's degree in Illustration (HSLU) – and have been successfully working independently for publishers, companies, and agencies for over seven years. In addition to my own artistic practice, I have been passionately teaching analog and digital illustration for several years. As a lecturer on a design preparatory course, I spent six years preparing students for applications for design apprenticeships and degree programs – and I am very familiar with the requirements of the creative industries and art schools. What you can learn from me: 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. 📍 Location: Online, at your home or in my studio in Winterthur 🕒 Times: By appointment – flexible and individual I look forward to accompanying you on your creative journey!

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of experience exhibiting, researching and developing my practice internationally. I offer individual art lessons and mentoring for students of different ages and levels, from beginners who want to learn how to draw or paint to more experienced artists who want to develop a stronger and more personal body of work. Lessons are adapted to each student. We can work with observational drawing, painting, composition, materials and technique, but also with ideas, references, art history, sketchbooks and the development of your own visual language. I also work with students preparing portfolios and applications for art schools, universities, residencies and other professional opportunities, as well as artists who feel stuck and want to rethink or strengthen their creative practice. My aim is not simply to teach you how to reproduce an image, but to help you understand what you want to make, why you want to make it, and how to develop the skills and references necessary to make it your own. Classes are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around your interests, experience and goals.

If you think drawing is difficult or you've been trying for a while and aren't improving, the problem isn't your talent: Nobody has taught you how to make it easy, fun, and less frustrating. In my classes I welcome students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also teach in English. I use a method based on the student's goals and needs. It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby or if you want something more professional. The structure adapts perfectly to what you're looking for and can change throughout the course. My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to have fun while you improve. We'll learn using your favorite series, comics, and webtoons. No boring exercises, just drawing. We'll analyze the work of the artists you admire, and you'll learn the tricks that real professionals use. You will learn: Manga/Anime, Comics, Narrative, Illustration, Drawing, Digital and Traditional Art, Character and Environment Design, Anatomy, Landscapes. Shall we learn together?
