Customised and evolving program

Our classes are designed for students of different levels. They are designed to allow for a real synergy while offering personalised and progressive support.

The student starts with a simple project, which will allow to lay the foundations, while determining the desires and needs, according to the current level. Thereafter, he is accompanied in the creation of much more complete and personal projects. He or she will perfect his or her technique and, if desired, develop scenarios or concentrate on pure illustration work. The class focuses on different techniques and artistic trends, opening the student's mind to the different possibilities that are open to him: Manga, Belgian comics, comic books, realistic drawing or his own creativity.

Objectives and skills

Techniques covered

• Human anatomy - The body, the face, emotions, proportions
• Non-human anatomy - Animals and imaginary characters
• Static and moving bodies
• Set design - Environment and perspective work
• Objects and props 
• Character creation - Character design
• Colour, light and shading
• Construction of a scenario, division of the boxes in relation to the text
• The work of the "bubbles" or phylactery

Such a comprehensive project allows the student to learn many drawing skills (proportion, perspective, light, etc.) while being free to choose the technique used (pencils, felt pens, gouache, watercolour, ink, digital). Thus, the student works on the development of his personal style.
