I have a bachelor's degree in digital arts, obtained at Saint Luc in 2016. During my studies I made live models, had courses in color, 2D animation, perspectives and character design.
I mainly draw with a graphics tablet.
During the lessons we will see how:
- look at an image, understand how the artist composes it, then learn to reproduce a style.
- use layers
- use filters to give more life to images
- learn different coloring methods, from grayscale coloring to colorization with filters
- use different brushes
- export illustrations in the correct formats
- integrate photos into your drawings

With this flexible method, I could teach you in a few lessons to discover or deepen your drawing style and improve your renderings.

Photoshop is used differently for painting or drawing than it is for photo editing. I'll show you how to use all of the program's tools, but I'll also teach you how to think when it comes to game art, concept art, and illustration, whether it's for character design, creature design, environment design, or prop design. I'll also teach you all the essential industry fundamentals, such as anatomy, perspective, color and light, and composition.

A graduate of the Émile Cohl School with a specialized bachelor's degree in Game Art, I have had the chance to work with more than 15 different video game, board game, trading card game (TCG) and role-playing game studios, creating concept art and illustrations for them.

Now an art teacher, I use my experience and skills, both as an artist and a teacher, to share with you all my knowledge of this subject and the gaming industry.

Drawing is a fun activity. It's very interesting to see how the lines take shape as you draw them, and it's also satisfying when you take the finished drawing home.

This workshop is aimed at people of all ages, from children to adults who love to draw and want to learn tricks and tips for drawing.

You can bring anything you like and would like to draw, whether it's a manga, a photograph, or even the actual object if you can bring it with you. If you don't have anything in particular, we'll look at the materials I've prepared together and I'll give you tips on how to draw!

You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or if you have a tablet, that's fine too.
