Montclair, CA Animation Lessons

I can teach a broad range of disciplines including handdrawn 2D, digital 2D, 3D, stopmotion, and others. If you're merely interested in the design aspects, that's fine, too. I have a comprehensive knowledge of 3D techniques and digital art workflows, and I can tailor the course to meet those needs, as well.

I've created many animations in the context of video games as a professional artist, having worked in ToonBoom, GIMP and Photoshop. I specialize in character animations, mostly humans and animals.

My goal is to focus on the study of motion and help the student implement their own skills in drawing and observation.
I can also help the student build a portfolio in preparation for college or applying for companies (games, animation studios).

I've graduated with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University, and worked for Disney Research for a year and a half.

The Ability to teach and mentor both traditional 2D Animation and 3D Animation

Do you love watching animated movies shows and awesome VFX? Get started in animation and learn how to get started making your characters and creations come to life! You can choose the software that you wish to use:
Maya
Blender (free)
Adobe Animate (previously called Adobe Flash)
Adobe Photoshop
After Effects

Learn to make your drawings come alive! Whatever you decide, whether to begin with basic exercises in movement, or to plot out your own story from scratch to final video output, I can guide you through all the steps needed to produce animation. Making cartoons is never easy, but if you have persistence of vision and don't mind hard work, this is for YOU!

You'll learn about Adobe Animate CC tools and how to animate. Animate CC works well with other programs too. For these lessons we'll also use Adobe Illustrator to get the best results.
Animation may additionally be done in Adobe After Effects.

Let me teach you animation, traditional style or on the computer! Animation for video games, GIFs, cartoons, etc.
