    Illustrator course for basic-advanced logo design

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving as an Adobe Illustrator Tutor, sharing my knowledge and passion for vector design with a variety of students. My journey as a graphic designer led me to deeply explore this tool and eventually become a tutor committed to helping others master it.

    During our sessions, I take a hands-on approach, using real examples and concrete projects to teach key concepts. From creating logos and t-shirt designs to creating illustrations for print and digital media, I guide my students step-by-step through creative and technical processes, making sure they understand both the "how" and "why" of every action.

    One aspect that I greatly value is encouraging creativity and experimentation. I encourage my students to apply Illustrator tools and techniques in unique and expressive ways, encouraging them to develop their distinctive style in vector design.

    In short, my experience as an Illustrator tutor has given me the opportunity to share my enthusiasm, inspire creativity, and empower others to master this powerful design tool. I am excited to continue to guide more people on their journey to become skilled and creative digital artists.

    For the past three years, I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and skills in Photoshop as a tutor. My passion for graphic design and image editing led me to deeply explore this tool and eventually to share my experience with other enthusiasts.

    My approach as a tutor is based on creating a comfortable and personalized learning environment. I start each session by consulting with my students to understand their goals and skill levels. This helps me tailor my teaching to meet your specific needs. I've worked from complete beginners who barely knew how to open the program to more experienced designers looking to hone advanced techniques.

    During our sessions, I like to use practical examples and real projects to illustrate concepts. From basic image manipulation to creating complex compositions, I guide my students through a step-by-step process, making sure they understand the "how" and "why" of each action.

    In short, my experience as a Photoshop tutor has given me the opportunity to share my passion, inspire creativity, and empower others to master this powerful editing tool. I am excited to continue guiding more people on their journey of discovery in the world of graphic design and image editing.

    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.

    Talent doesn’t matter. Natural predisposition doesn’t exist. Drawing is a skill you can learn at any age. If you want to give shape to your ideas, you’re in the right place. My goal is to help each person develop their own expressive abilities, offering them the tools they need to grow confidently. Each lesson is tailored to the student and shaped by the connection we build together. We can focus on the fundamentals — like anatomy, shading, and perspective — or take a more expressive, storytelling-driven approach through comics and illustration. My lessons are open to people of all ages and learning styles, including those with special needs. Learning to draw means learning to understand yourself and the world around you. My teaching method is deeply student-centred. I believe that each person who chooses to draw is moved by a unique intention, whether it's mastering technical skills or exploring their own world through visual storytelling. That's why I tailor every lesson to support the individual goals of each student. For those who are more interested in improving their technical abilities, i provide structured, didactic materials. These include selected resources from established drawing manuals, as well as my own handouts and exercises focused on essential techniques such as anatomy, perspective, shading, the use of different tools and materials and much more. My aim is to make complex topics accessible and rewarding to learn. For students who are more interested in self-expression and storytelling, we work with creative expression exercises. These activities are more emotional and intuitive, designed to help students put themselves into their art, exploring their own identity, style and imagination. In all cases, I foster a safe and inspiring space where students can grow at their own rhytm, not following a one-size path.
