About David
Hello, I'm David, a professional illustrator with 6 years of experience in the fantasy art industry, working across publishing, advertising, and entertainment. I specialize in visual storytelling, character design, and worldbuilding, and I bring that expertise directly into each lesson. My goal is to help aspiring artists develop strong technical skills while cultivating their own creative voice. I offer structured, supportive guidance tailored to your goals—whether you're preparing a portfolio, entering the freelance world, or simply passionate about illustration. With a clear, professional approach and a deep love for the craft, I’m here to help you grow as both an artist and a storyteller.

As a professional illustrator with years of experience in publishing, entertainment, and advertising, I bring real-world insight to every lesson. My teaching approach is hands-on, student-centered, and built around fostering both technical skill and creative confidence. Whether you're aiming to enter the industry or simply build your portfolio, I tailor each session to meet your goals and interests.
Teaching Method & Techniques
I focus on foundational principles like anatomy, composition, perspective, lighting, and visual storytelling. Lessons often involve live demonstrations, breakdowns of professional work, and guided practice. I give structured, honest feedback while encouraging personal voice and experimentation. For digital artists, I also integrate tool-specific instruction (Photoshop, Procreate, etc.).
A Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson starts with a check-in on your current projects or questions. We then dive into a focused topic (e.g., dynamic posing, character design, or worldbuilding through visuals) with clear objectives. We’ll work through exercises together, analyze professional examples, and end with optional homework and critique.
What Sets Me Apart
I’m not just a tutor—I’m an active industry professional and fellow creative. I understand the demands of the field and teach from experience. My background in fantasy illustration means I’m especially passionate about imaginative art and visual storytelling, and I help students develop a unique, market-ready style.
Who My Lessons Are For
My lessons are ideal for high school and college students, aspiring illustrators, hobbyists, and young professionals. Whether you're building a portfolio for art school, looking to break into freelance illustration, or simply passionate about drawing, I’ll help you level up with purpose and precision.
