Translated by GoogleSee original

From 31 C$ /h

With the arrival of new technologies, changes in program pricing and rates have become a nightmare, programs with unpayable rents and services that are updated every year, changing the interface and its operation... it is necessary to look for alternatives.

This course offers you an introduction to Krita, a free and OpenSource digital painting program that will allow you to create images at a professional level and learn about free alternatives on the market. We will carry out digital painting exercises for backgrounds, concepts and 2D video games in which we will be able to explore the Krita tools.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

I am Sergio, an Agricultural Engineering student at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, currently on academic exchange at the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

During my training I have worked with AutoCAD, irrigation system design, drafting plans, topographic surveys and agricultural installations.

I offer online AutoCAD 2D classes aimed primarily at engineering students and other technical students who need to learn how to use the program or reinforce their knowledge to develop their own projects.

The classes are practical and personalized. We can start from the fundamentals of the program or work with the knowledge you already have, using exercises related to your studies.

My goal is for you to learn how to use the tools, understand the procedures, and develop the ability to create your plans independently.

I also offer academic support in Agronomic Engineering subjects related to irrigation, fertilization, topography and plant production, according to the syllabus and the student's needs.

Individual online classes, available Monday to Friday.

Learn digital sculpture with ZBrush through an artistic and practical approach.

These lessons are designed for artists who want to learn how to create characters, creatures, figures and original designs in 3D, whether your goal is concept art, character development, digital art or 3D printing.

Rather than simply learning software tools, we will focus on the artistic decisions behind a successful sculpture: form, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, shapes, design and how to translate an idea into a convincing 3D piece.

Depending on your goals and experience, we can work on:

• Digital sculpting fundamentals and ZBrush workflow
• Human anatomy and figure sculpture
• Character and creature design
• Developing an idea or concept into a 3D sculpture
• Creating interesting shapes, silhouettes and visual details
• Improving an existing sculpture or portfolio piece
• Preparing a sculpture for 3D printing when relevant
• Presenting your work through lighting and rendering

The lessons can be adapted to beginners who are completely new to digital sculpture, as well as more experienced artists who want feedback and guidance to improve their work.

You can also bring your own character, concept or ongoing sculpture and we can develop it together during the lesson.

Are you ready to turn your book idea or raw manuscript into a stunning, professionally designed book ready for print? Whether you are starting completely from scratch or looking to polish and fix an existing file, this class gives you the practical skills and guidance to create industry standard publications.

In our lessons, we focus primarily on Adobe InDesign, the premier professional tool for interior layout and book production. You will learn:

• Master pages, margins, grids, and professional document setup
• Advanced typesetting, paragraph and character styles, and typographic hierarchy
• Handling complex layouts, image placement, tables, and book organization
• Integrating Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator seamlessly for covers, figures, and spot graphics
• Troubleshooting common layout mistakes, reflowing text, and cleaning up legacy files

In addition to design mechanics, I guide you through the technical self publishing process. We will cover preparing pre press, print ready PDF files specifically formatted for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or independent commercial offset printers. We will address bleed, color spaces (CMYK vs RGB), spine width calculations, and barcode placement so your book prints cleanly without rejection.

Every session is personalized to your individual project, whether you are publishing fiction, non fiction, photography monographs, poetry, or children's books. Beginners learning InDesign for the first time and experienced creators looking for advanced book techniques are both welcome.

Would you like to learn how to use Photoshop and explore the world of graphic design? This course is the perfect place to start!

Over 10 sessions, we'll explore Photoshop step by step, discovering its main tools and features and learning how to use them in a practical and creative way. You'll get familiar with the interface, layers, selections, brushes, text, colours, image editing, filters and much more.

The goal is not just to learn what each tool does, but to understand how to use them to create your own designs, edit images and bring your creative ideas to life.

Each session comes with practical exercises to work on outside class. These activities are an essential part of the learning process, helping you put what you've learned into practice, build confidence and significantly speed up your progress. The more you practise, the faster you'll improve!

No previous experience with Photoshop or graphic design is needed. We'll take things step by step, at your own pace, with practical examples and hands-on exercises.

The course is available in both English and Spanish, so you can choose whichever language you're most comfortable with.

Whether you're curious about graphic design, want to develop a new skill or simply want to learn Photoshop from scratch, you're very welcome!

Do you want to create 3D assets and scenes for games, digital art, or university projects, without being held back by the complexity of the software? Sign up for a class and let's make learning 3D simple, practical, and fun.
Whether you are a total beginner or looking to further refine your skills, we will work with exercises covering the fundamentals of both the software but we will ALSO **break down the logic**, behind different types of 3D modeling, which can then be applied to any 3D software and asset!!!

Depending on your own preference we can focus on 3D box modeling, 3D sculpting, 3D clothing simulation, high poly to low poly pipelines or rendering with built-in but also external engines. We can create scenes, render visuals for your own projects or prepare assets for game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity.

Having formally trained as an Art Teacher, I value learning that not only gives you a strong toolkit to work with, but teaches you how to continue building these skills -on your own- after the class is over.

Lessons offered in English (Online).

As a digital project manager with 7 years of experience in digital communication agencies, I teach cross-functional skills in all digital professions: custom website creation or on Wordpress, Prestashop, development, e-commerce, e-marketing, web writing, graphic design, UX design.

I give lessons via video conference, for a maximum of 1 or 2 hours so as not to overwhelm you with information and to ensure that the lesson remains enjoyable.

Depending on the digital category that interests you, I present the context, the technical operation, then I share practical knowledge and above all effective techniques in your field.

My courses are suitable for all levels, from digital beginners to practitioners who want to deepen their skills.

I graduated from Digital Campus in Paris with a degree in Web Project Management.

I practice this profession in Parisian agencies.

Managing a digital project, that is to say the definition, creation and online deployment of a website, an app or any digital tool, allows us to address all facets related to this project.

Therefore, I can share my knowledge with you on the part that interests you, in order to deepen a skill or so that you can make it your profession.
