About Me

My photography classes are designed to be as practical and dynamic as possible because I firmly believe that the best way to learn is by putting theory into action. From the very beginning, I encourage students to experiment with their cameras, actively exploring techniques and concepts.

I create an environment where creativity and fun are key, as I consider enjoying the process essential when it comes to a hobby. That’s why I organize activities that not only teach technical skills but also spark imagination: from sessions where students photograph each other to experiments with elements like water, light, or textures to explore new artistic possibilities.

Each class aims to challenge participants to step out of their comfort zones and discover their unique style, always in a friendly and stimulating setting. My goal is that, in addition to gaining solid knowledge, students have fun, connect with their passion for photography, and find new ways to see the world through the lens.

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.

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.
