I am excited to be offering art fundamental sessions, covering topics such as value, colour theory, lighting, and composition. These are in the context of mostly digital art but with roots in traditional art, and they can be applied to both 2D and 3D environment artwork! The session can be tailored to you, depending on if you just want a quick refresher, or multiple weeks intensively covering each topic. All sessions take place on a Discord call with screenshare, with contextual homework and recommended additional reading. We can keep in touch via Discord in case you have any questions or concerns.
I am a freelance concept and environment artist for games based in the UK. I began my career at Creative Assembly on the Total War series before taking on some freelance work and joining Rare Ltd on Everwild. Since then, I have gone freelance full-time and work for clients such as Gameloft, Supercell, Amazon Games, and more, doing a mixture of 3D and 2D work. I have taught at multiple UK universities and online institutions, whilst also offering personal online mentorships more recently. I want these sessions to be a forum for you to ask questions and find guidance through the complex world of art creation.
I offer an easy-going, clear, and concise style of teaching which I can easily adapt to your personal learning style and speed.
I also am happy to run through your portfolio and talk through your strengths and weaknesses, and what we can do to address these in mind of creating a strong portfolio for interviews. I am also pleased to review individual pieces.
These sessions are time for you to learn whatever you have on your mind with regards to 2D art creation and fundamentals such as colour, composition, and lighting.
You will come away from each session with an agreed set of actions to take, which will take you a step forwards on your journey to creating great art and finding your niche.
