In 2024, I began teaching animation and drawing workshops aimed at kids and teens.
I started out by teaching drawing fundamentals and 2D animation skills with MarionLIFE Youth. This was a fantastic experience! Some projects include teaching them how to animate in the free program called Krita in an afternoon, as well as to challenge their character pose drawing skills with prompts.
My art style is strongly influenced by manga/anime as well as Western cartooning traditions. I bring my past experience as a storyboard artist for animation, as well as a boundless love of fictional characters, into my workshops.
I also have experience with some game engines, as GameMaker Studio and RenPy both can highlight different skills. I believe programming, writing and art are all great skills to learn at any age!
If you are interested in hiring me as a contractor teaching a workshop at your school, library, function etc. please feel free to contact me here.
