Private lessons of Digital painting, drawing and sketching for game art, concept art and illustration online or in person



Photoshop is used differently for painting and drawing than for photography retouching. I will show you how to use all the tools of the program, but I will also teach you how to think about game art, concept art and illustration, whether it is for character design, creature design, environment design or prop design. I will also teach you all the fundamentals that are essential in the industry, such as anatomy, perspective, colour and light, and composition.

After graduating from l'École Émile Cohl with a bachelor specialised in Game Art, I have had the chance of working with more than 15 different studios of video games, board games, trading card games and tabletop RPGs, creating concept art and illustrations for them. Now an Art Teacher, I use my experience and skills both as an artist and as a teacher to share with you all my knowledge of the subject and of the industry.

About Me

I'm Nassima, a French native teacher passionate about Art, Languages and Music.

Working as a freelance concept artist, 2D game artist and illustrator for 5 years has helped me to create visually stunning assets for games, and understand what it is that makes a great concept art or a great illustration. I am fully proficient in Adobe Photoshop, and I am an expert when it comes to the art fundamentals. I was also taught art traditionally, and master a variety of traditional techniques (pencil, charcoal, watercolour, gouache, dry pastel, acrylics...).

Being multilingual (French, English, Italian, and Japanese) has equipped me with a strong understanding of linguistics and how to teach them, and has allowed me connect on a deeper level with my students.

Growing up, I have also been classically trained musically, and have reached an almost professional level (Grade 7) when it comes to Music Theory, Singing and the Flute. I have been part of a band, Scurravagus, for 2.5 years and we have been performing in and around London.

Finally, I am a patient teacher, I connect easily with my students and love to adapt my lessons to the needs and taste of each student for a guaranteed success.

Photoshop est utilisé différemment pour peindre ou dessiner qu'il ne l'est pour la retouche photographique. Je vais vous montrer comment utiliser tous les outils du programme, mais je vais également vous apprendre comment penser quand il s'agit de game art, de concept art et d'illustration, que ce soit pour la conception de personnages, de créatures, d'environnements ou de props (accessoires). Je vous enseignerai également tous les fondamentaux indispensables dans l'industrie, tels que l'anatomie, la perspective, la couleur et la lumière, et la composition. Diplômé de l'École Émile Cohl avec un baccalauréat spécialisé en Game Art, j'ai eu la chance de travailler avec plus de 15 studios différents de jeux vidéo, de jeux de société, de jeux de cartes à collectionner (TCG) et de jeux de rôle, en créant pour eux des concept art et des illustrations. Aujourd'hui professeure d'art, j'utilise mon expérience et mes compétences, à la fois en tant qu'artiste qu'enseignante pour partager avec vous toutes mes connaissances de ce sujet et de l'industrie du jeu.

(Digital) Art classes for art lovers and beginners.
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.

Traditional and digital drawing courses. (beginners, intermediates)
This course is aimed at those wishing to improve or discover the disciplines of traditional and/or digital drawing. I am in my third year at HEAJ in the computer graphics category and am studying precisely the areas that I teach. Namely drawing in general and the use of the Adobe suite (including Illustrator and Photoshop, the most widespread digital drawing software). To establish your program, tell me what you want to work on and I will write your lessons accordingly. The first lesson will be used to see your level. IMPORTANT: I am still a student so my schedules are very varied. The times that I put on the site timetable are therefore not relevant. It would be best if we planned our meetings amicably.
