About Me

I am a professional artist and experienced educator with an MA in Directing and over 20 years of teaching experience. Over that time, I have developed my own structured system of remote art education, designed to support students step by step in drawing and painting, while remaining flexible to individual needs and creative goals. I am mostly teaching online at the moment.
My academic background informs not only what I teach, but how I teach - helping me build clear lesson structure, progression, and continuity across longer learning processes, not just individual sessions. I work with children, young people, and adults, hold a current DBS certificate, and speak fluent English and Russian. I am passionate about delivering well-organised, engaging online art education that builds confidence, skill, and creative independence.
I am reliable, well-organised in lesson planning, and comfortable working independently online. I will be very happy to meet new students here on the platform, where I can share my passion for art, support learners worldwide, and continue developing meaningful creative education through flexible, online teaching.

Portrait Sketching is a skill which you need when who don’t have any idea on what to gift people on their birthday’s. Just kidding.
In this age of digital media, if you still want to learn physical sketching and painting, you have my heart. The worth of a hand drawn sketch or painting is still more.
This class would have basics to advanced techniques of sketching and painting and would require basic pencils, paint and your own brain in the beginning, then we can move to other tools required.
Don’t worry if you haven’t painted or sketched before, the worst that could happen is lot of pages being torn but some might turn out to be abstract which we can sell and then split the money, hahaha! that’s it, rest would be fun.

I am a Goldsmiths BA Fine art second year. I do paintings and scultings mainly and sculptural paintings. I love to understand and feel the materials and use the materialities' characteristics and histories to symbolise meanings in my work.

My class would be suitable for potential young childrens or teenagers who are interested in art or want to get into art. As art is the language for me, I would love my students to enjoy and show their creativity in my class and I would help them to develop and create actual works in real life.

There would be no pressure in this class I have experice of tutoring 10year old child and he was enjoying every class. He had ADHD and showed ADHD behaviours during class but as a neurodivergent person I gave him a breaks during classes and talked about his interests so I could figure out what he is interested in so I could prepare next class for him and at the same time the kid could had his little refreshment from doing art work. And I had 1:1 meetings with their parents because they wanted to know how it went and how he was behaving so I gave her a lot of feedbacks from my perspective (I did let her know it is from my perspective) .

My dream is to be an artist/ art professor(university tutor) as I also had mental health issues so I am aware of how to deal with people who should I take more care of and also as a neurodivergent person I could deal with neurodivergent students:)

My curriculum would be very personalised by students.

If you are interested leave me a text message:)

To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.

Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.

Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.

Hi there,

I'm Kim! I hope you’re well! Thanks for dropping by.

About the course:

I'm here to share all I've learned with students of all skill levels and age groups.

As with many things, the best way to learn is to do. I will therefore take you through the entire professional process of designing a character for an animated project - from the fundamentals of anatomy drawing, to the initial research stage to iteration sketches, all the way through to the final model sheets!

By the end, you will have created a memorable character that is unique, full of appeal, exuding personality, and ready to be animated. And you will have gained a valuable insight into the weird and wonderful world of professional character design.

---------------------------------

About me:

I am a professional character designer and illustrator from Australia, currently based in London, UK.

In 2019, I graduated with the Bachelor of Design in Animation with First Class Honours from the University of Technology, Sydney.

Since graduating, I have had the privilege of working as a character designer and animator on the Netflix animated series, ‘Adventure Beast,’ enjoyed a design internship with Cheeky Little Media, and have also had the pleasure of illustrating several children's picture books for Playtime Books.

These days, I am designing characters for Hey Daisy Moon, and have been tutoring character design, cartooning, and general drawing skills to students of all ages since 2021.

If you have a passion for bringing exciting characters to life, or just want to improve your drawing skills, I would love to help you achieve your goals! In any case, I wish you a wonderful day.

A great class if you'd like to know about how light works in drawing, and looking at and working on drawings basics. I will be looking at basic forms to start, drawing simple line objects, learning how light works and how to apply that to any drawings. Can also get more technical depending on your skill level.

I understand how challenging it can be to master perspective, colour, and contrast, or to translate complex concepts into compelling visuals and clear projects, and I love helping others navigate that process. My goal is to help you grow your skills, strengthen your creative voice, and find joy and confidence in the act of drawing and designing.

I offer lessons for architecture and design students, or individual interested in design, who want to strengthen their visual communication skills through drawing and sketching, from foundational techniques to advanced architectural and landscape illustration.
I’m passionate about creating a supportive, judgement-free atmosphere where you can learn and experiment with confidence. My lessons are engaging and tailored to your individual needs, blending structured learning with creative exploration. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, my adaptable approach ensures you feel both comfortable and challenged.
With experience teaching languages, dance, and drawing, I focus on building a positive and effective learning experience, for adults and young adults, online or in person.

I can help you with:
- For architecture and design students: communicate your ideas clearly, develop visual thinking, and refine your portfolio, renders, and presentation skills.
- Architectural and landscape illustration: master perspective, light, and contrast to bring your drawings to life.
- Art journaling: explore creative sketching as a way to express ideas and document inspiration.

Write me if you have specific needs!
