Creation of animated characters, storytelling and Illustration

From 14.29 £ /h

Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine?

Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters?

If you have those concerns, I would love to help you.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story.

I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French.

I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.
Extra information

About Me
I'm Lara. I'm dedicated to character design, storyboarding and illustration. I also do training and courses on character design. I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

I am currently teaching character design courses and workshops in Candelaria, to young people. I also give private classes with students of all ages and from different parts of the world, so many of my classes have been given in both English and French.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. Therefore, my classes are aimed at all ages or experience in drawing.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they too can understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey.

I try to do the same in my French classes, try to review the subject but encourage learning through the interests of the student. Trying to make the topics fun for them and focusing on their hobbies and helping me with songs, for example, so that the student can learn and practice pronunciation and vocabulary until the next class.

I offer French classes as well as to converse and improve oral fluency. Also to reinforce any aspect or to learn vocabulary and expand it. Available at all age levels and language levels.

I was studying for 3 years in Lyon (France). I was also able to do a scholarship in France in high school, with which I spent three months studying at a French school.

Hello! I'm Jorge and I'm an illustrator born and raised in Tenerife, Canary Islands.

My goal is for the student to improve and work towards their desired achievements -- whether it's just to get better at drawing, work towards making a masterpiece, or putting together a portfolio to get into their desired art school. I also have notions of graphic and web design... even murals!

In the drawing, I'd work primarily on pencils and pens. Otherwise, the medium of choice could be digital (Photoshop / Illustrator).

I've been drawing since I was a child, and I'm studying for a Bachelor's in Fine Arts at AP university. I've also worked as a creative in an Advertisement studio for 2 years and now freelance as an artist for clients.

1. Exhibition
- Aperture: Size of the diaphragm (f/2.8 more light, f/16 less light).
- Shutter speed: Time the shutter is open (1/1000 freezes, 1/30 blurs).
- ISO: Sensitivity to light (ISO 100 less noise, ISO 3200 more noise).

2. Composition
- Rule of thirds: Divide the image into 3x3 and place the subject at the intersections.
- Guide lines: They direct the viewer's gaze.
- Balance: Harmonious and simple elements.

3. Focus
- Adjusts the sharpness on the main subject.

4. Lighting
- Use natural or artificial light depending on the desired effect.

5. Equipment
- Camera, lens, tripod and basic accessories.

6. Creative ways to take photos
