*My scheduling availability isn't always accurate, as many students have their lessons with me every other week. My schedule is different from week to week, so it's best to at least pick a time with me and if it doesn't work, we'll make sure we schedule a lesson time that's convenient for both of us. If you need to schedule a lesson for a time sooner than what the TakeLessons calendar allows, you can always let me know and we'll most likely work something out for you. I've created many cartoons in the context of illustration, comics and 2D animation. My specialty is in expressions, character designs and story-telling. My mission is to spread this knowledge of cartooning and to help achieve the goals of students.

Whether your interest is traditional or digital art, I work with you to draw out your highest potential. Learn to 'See What You're Looking At' and discover the story YOU want to tell. Please see some of my work on my profile page.

Lessons would be individualized to focus on areas that need the most guidance.

Hi, my name is Layla Meyer. I have taught art to kids between the ages of 4 and 12 with a company called KidzArt. I taught with them for several years. Before the pandemic, I was instructing in-person classes at elementary schools and in the KidzArt studio as well. In 2020, we began conducting virtual classes, so I have had almost 2 years of experience teaching art classes over Zoom. I began teaching my own virtual art classes separate from my company a few months ago. At the end of last year, I published a children’s book called “Rami the Travel Llama” which is available through Amazon and have since published a second book, “Differences are Great!” I enjoy illustrating children’s books and plan to continue producing and publishing stories starring the characters that I have created. Art is my passion and I love teaching to my young audience. My past students have really enjoyed being in my art classes and I would love to share my experience and love of art with the students of OutSchool. I enjoy teaching all kinds of art topics and will always be open to suggestions from my students or parents. Some of my favorite topics to teach include realistic sketching/drawing techniques, character drawing and design, and watercolor landscapes/cityscapes. However, the list of topics I enjoy doesn’t end with these examples.

I took drawing lessons many years ago and have been practicing since then. I can help you get all the concepts and foundations to continue mastering this skill.
