"Secret" keys - Painting from life, Light effect, Composition, Blending, Fixing, Temperatures, Values, will be discussed.

Illustration, Drawing & Procreate – Individual coaching from an experienced illustrator

Do you want to specifically improve your drawing skills, expand your creative expression, or prepare for a design degree? I can support you with in-depth expertise, personal guidance, and extensive experience!

I am a freelance illustrator with a Bachelor's degree in Art Education (ZHdK) and a Master's degree in Illustration (HSLU) – and have been successfully working independently for publishers, companies, and agencies for over seven years. In addition to my own artistic practice, I have been passionately teaching analog and digital illustration for several years.

As a lecturer on a design preparatory course, I spent six years preparing students for applications for design apprenticeships and degree programs – and I am very familiar with the requirements of the creative industries and art schools.

What you can learn from me:

Drawing & Sketching: Training the eye, observational drawing, proportion, contrast, anatomy, light & shadow

Painting & Color Theory: Color effect, color harmony, image structure and composition

Digital Illustration: Introduction and Advanced Study in Procreate (iPad) – from Basics to Professional Application

I will tailor my approach to your individual level and goals – whether you are starting out as a beginner, want to expand your portfolio, or develop further as an artist.

📍 Location: Online, at your home or in my studio in Winterthur
🕒 Times: By appointment – flexible and individual

I look forward to accompanying you on your creative journey!
