    Drawing Lessons from The Guardian featured foreign artist

    I was born in 1990 and pursued my Bachelor in Fine Arts, specializing in painting and got my Masters in Art Education. As a visual artist, I am passionate about helping students who aspire to enter Art and Design departments and enhance their artistic abilities. In my courses, I cover a wide range of subjects including anatomy, composition, ratio-proportion, still life, light-dark, space, tonal perception, figure drawing and imaginary composition.

    Recently, I received an offer for a PhD program at the University of Glasgow in Image and Text Studies, where I will be focusing my research on wordless graphic narratives. I am eager to explore this unique form of storytelling and contribute to the academic field.

    In 2021, I published my debut illustrated book in London, UK. I am also glad to have been featured in The Guardian, where my illustrations gained recognition in 2023.

    Currently, I reside in Seoul where I continue to pursue my artistic endeavors and would like to help others to improve their drawing skills!

    Best Wishes!
    Emre

In the second lesson and onward, students will be guided at a customized pace through the process of making their very own assets.

    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.

    Idris
    Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language
    I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London. Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you! Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs. The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language. (Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.) Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

    Intermediate Figure Drawing: How To Draw Proportionate People
    Figure drawing can be the basis of all drawings you want to accomplish. The skills you grasp from practicing figure drawing can translate to other skills, because you are practicing finding and drawing details that might be overlooked. In this class, you will learn how to simply draw people. All the little details that make a person, a person. You will be taught how to draw facial features and details on the body proportionally through practicing on models online and live, doing different poses. I will guide you to see and prioritize details that can truly encapsulate the essence of a human through a small lecture. However, most of your learning will be through active practice. With different lessons, we will be focusing on different concepts, but I will give you feedback regardless, through active practice. Figure drawing isn't easy, but it gets easier over time when you know what details to look for.
