Illustration Classes and Support
Practice core illustration skills through guided lessons, focused workshops, and individual feedback in Brooklyn.
Digital Drawing Foundations
Start with the building blocks of clear digital drawings. Practice line, shape, value, and form through short exercises, then apply them to a finished illustration. Lessons focus on observation and useful drawing habits, so you can work with greater control in your chosen digital tools. Suitable for beginners and artists refreshing their fundamentals.
Color and Composition
Explore how color and composition guide a viewer through an image. Learn to organize shapes, choose a limited palette, and establish a clear focal point. Guided studies help you test ideas before committing to a final piece. Bring a project in progress or work from class prompts designed to make these concepts easy to apply.
Character Illustration
Create characters that communicate personality through silhouette, gesture, and detail. Work through reference gathering, rough sketches, pose exploration, and a more finished digital drawing. The class emphasizes practical ways to make characters readable and expressive, whether you are developing an original idea or building confidence with character illustration.
Digital Painting Practice
Practice a manageable digital painting process, from a simple sketch to color, lighting, and finishing touches. Learn to organize layers, use brushes with intention, and avoid overworking an image. Exercises focus on making deliberate choices and completing a piece, with room to adapt the techniques to the software you already use.
Portfolio Feedback
Bring a selection of illustrations or a project in progress for a focused review. Discuss strengths, areas to improve, and specific next steps for composition, technique, or consistency. Feedback is practical and centered on your goals, helping you decide what to revise and what to create next. This service supports artists at different stages.
Illustration Workshops
Take a closer look at one illustration skill in a focused workshop. Topics can include drawing from reference, color studies, character design, or digital painting. Each session pairs a short demonstration with hands-on practice, so you leave with a completed study and techniques you can continue using in your own work.
