I can teach drawing in these mediums
- Pencil or Colored Pencil.
- Chalk Pastel and Oil Pastel.
- Pen, India Ink Pen
- Software applications like Adobe, Rive or Autodesk.
- Marker.
- These formats can be mixed or layered in some methods.
- The best was to develop as an artist is to practice. Don’t give up when you are frustrated.
Many people start as artists begin by drawing and it’s a good way to incorporate as layers for paintings. Drawings are faster to make than a painting on average for realistic results by a talented artist.
Teaching the fundamentals to more advanced students. I can start from the basics showing gradation, proportion techniques, and how to develop a drawing in layers and stages.
More advanced students often want to learn how to better draw people, animals and more complex scenes. Sometimes characters in scenes, comics and so forth. Landscapes and portraits are often other popular drawing lessons.
Storyboards and comics are another specialized niche that can lead to income and an occupation.
I can also teach whatever subject is needed. I have been through art courses since graduation of MSU Denver, and I continue to practice drawing as an artist among in other mediums. Before formal art education, I was already drawing and painting.
Painting Lessons
 Tribute to Jon J. Muth, Moonshadow. One of my favorite comic books. |  Acrylic Painting |  Watercolor Painting |
I love painting and prefer acrylic, watercolor or tempura. I can teach all these mediums. I am not a fan of oil paints due to the mess and all the additional chemicals needed. Oil paints are also saturated in chemicals that I believe are not good for your body, but they make amazing paintings by a skilled artist. You can receive the same results with Acrylic paints as far as detail and realism.
There are also acrylics that look exactly like oil paints with the gloss and reflection, adding more realism. Gesso or various gloss mediums can also create the same look in acrylic compared to oil.
Collage Mixed Media Art
Collage can combine all types or art from paper mache, canvas, plastic, metal, paper to whatever the artist prefers. Collage is a free form; anything goes in style or it can be more art genre specific. Glue is often the common bind between materials.
 | Here are a couple examples of collage artworks. |  |
Digital Media Art
Character Design & Concept Artwork
It’s easier to make exact characters and concept art with your own resources then to grind and waste time running an Ai app.
2D or 3D applications rely on your direct input and action. Ai can only create known and existing ideas.

These are examples of digital art made in 2D and 3D software. 2D applications are far easier to make graphics as 3D is more complex. Ai is not an exact idea for precise ideas but it can be a jumping point for ideas. None of these were Ai generations. Ai is acceptable for concepts or ideas but won’t catch concise thoughts.
Sculpture, Clay, Plastic, Wood or Metal
Modeling clay is easy to work with but not durable. Plastics are harder but not as easy to manipulate as Clay. Wood is closer to easy and Metal is the hardest medium to conform. With sculpture you always have to rough in a larger shape then narrow down to details. Harder (denser) more permanent materials require more tools and take more time to work.
