About Me

Experience Summary

I have been developing my drawing skills since 2004, and I have been drawing ever since. The most experience that I have had in the past with tutoring was sharing tips with my friends at school about how to draw a certain character like Sonic the Hedgehog, but I now have a better understanding, thanks to MY trainers, about how to utilize the skills I've developed over the years.

Teaching Style

When I was learning how to draw, I started out copying drawings of characters that I saw in books and TV and used what I saw to draw my own characters soon after. That was "fine" but I realized over time that it was not enough to simply "see" something drawn a type of way, but that I needed to understand "why" it was drawn that way. I feel as though the best way to teach a student is to first tackle the subject that they enjoy drawing the most, in this case character design, so that they'll be more interested in the lesson. Then break down what makes the figure look that way and how it's done so that they will have the skill and experience to pull original ideas, poses, and designs from their own memory. This will then open the door for more lessons to be taught, if the student chooses :) Since artistic ability cannot be "forced" or rushed, I believe in a fun; laid back teaching method but without still solid to keep the student in the mindset of wanting to finish a piece.

My Hobbies

I enjoy drawing traditional cartooning, realism sketching, cosplay prop making, black and white and color style drawing, some painting and exercising :)

Subject Commentary

Drawing This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
I was a student with the Art Instruction Schools in 2011, and maintained and completed the course with an A average in 2013. Though I am currently a self-taught student developing my traditional art skills, I am able to teach students in basic cartooning anatomy, and color theory.
