Fundamentals of drawing, 2D/3D animation, and portfolio preparation

From 40 C$ /h

My courses cover drawing, animation, and 3D, with a common goal: learning to understand what we create.

I offer a structured curriculum, designed to transmit the fundamentals progressively and smoothly, in order to effectively develop all essential skills

We will work on the fundamentals: training the eye, constructing correctly, mastering proportions and improving the quality of the line.

These principles allow us to analyze what we observe and represent it accurately. The goal is to no longer draw randomly, but to know what we are doing at each step.

In parallel, we will develop creativity: learning to build ideas, creating mood boards, experimenting, iterating and developing a rich and solid reference library.

These principles then apply to animation and 3D, where we will also discuss mastering the software.

Combining technical understanding with creativity results in work that is both controlled and personal, regardless of the medium.

Each course is tailored to the student's level and objective, in order to allow for rapid progress and the development of genuine learning autonomy.

Assistance available for preparing portfolios for art school entrance exams.

About Me

I am a video game student, passionate about drawing, visual storytelling and creation in general.
I started drawing relatively late, about two years before applying to the Gobelins school. This pushed me to develop an efficient and structured working method, and I managed to get accepted.
I have always been interested in understanding images: why a drawing works, how an idea takes shape, and how to develop it.
This way of thinking led me to develop a method based on observation, analysis and construction, which I now pass on to my students.
I enjoy supporting students in their progress, helping them gain confidence and gradually become independent in their learning.
My goal is to offer a supportive but also somewhat demanding environment where everyone can progress at their own pace while achieving concrete results.

Whether you want to pursue visual arts professionally or not, it is one of the best ways to express yourself creatively.

This course will teach you how to develop drawing and painting skills in various art mediums, along with references from art history so that you can freely express yourself.
The structure of the lessons can be modified according to the needs of the student, and can also included visits to museums and contemporary art exhibitions. With younger children or amateurs, we can delve into crafts, collage, sketching and doodling and for people with some experience we can think about more advanced painting compositions, even installation and basics of stop-motion animation.

However, it is not at all necessary to have a lot of knowledge of the visual arts, only curiosity and interest.

(The price remains the same for upto three students during a session)

When you walk in Paris, every street seems like a monument. There’s always a building, a statue, or even the street itself that is part of History.

Drawing is a great way to discover a big city. It demands to slow down and pay better attention to what you see. It is also a good way to keep memory of your travelling experience, more personal and original than a photo.

As an urban sketcher and art teacher, I offer a drawing experience in the streets of Paris. Depending of which area you want to discover, these sessions can go from 2 to 4 hours.
Everybody can draw, so don’t worry if you’re afraid of the exercise, the main goal is to have fun ! I will help you with simple technics to build sketchings.

Don’t hesitate to ask me with you have any questions :)

Having worked in an art studio where I gave lessons to children (from 6 to 13 years old), young teenagers (from 14 to 16 years old) and adults (all ages), I now offer my services to accompany your child or teenager in learning different drawing and painting techniques, and to give them the necessary tools to progress and practice independently.
Having studied art history, I like to propose themes by introducing an artistic movement or an artist within their context before tackling a practical subject. If the student prefers to focus solely on learning drawing or painting techniques, that is perfectly possible, although an artistic dimension will still be present, if only through images of artworks, which I consider important for illustrating the techniques.
I offer lessons with a minimum duration of one hour and, in order to promote effective progress, I favour working on the same theme and the same technique over several sessions, while adapting to the expectations and pace of the student.

With a Diploma in Illustration from the Saint-Luc Tournai school (class of 2024-2025), which I earned with honors and the jury's congratulations during my secondary studies, and currently a second-year art history student at the Sorbonne, I offer customized drawing lessons to guide you in discovering and refining your artistic practice. Whether you're drawn to manga, comics, cartoons, or illustration, my goal is to provide you with the necessary foundation so you can create what you envision.

During the sessions, the student guides the program. I adapt entirely to your desires and objectives. My method unfolds in two stages: learning the fundamentals, where we cover the essential basics (proportions, perspective, shadows and light, anatomy, various techniques) through exercises; and then, finally, practical application, which consists of putting the previously learned basics into practice through more creative exercises and personal projects that are important to you.
Together we will be able to explore a wide range of techniques such as colored pencil, watercolor, charcoal, alcohol markers, ink, etc.

Each session is structured as follows:
- The choice: at the beginning of the course, we define together the subject, the style (manga, cartoon...) and the technique you wish to work on.
- The theory: I will give you the basic concepts necessary to carry out your project.
- Training: we do short, quick exercises to understand and practice.
- Creation: you apply these skills to a concrete, personal and original drawing, which you will have the pleasure of finalizing.
