My analytical rendering method is based on the modern scientific theory of color and light, which goes beyond the traditional color theory taught in art schools.
It gives a clear explanation of how rendering works, and it clears up many misconceptions from the traditional approach. It enables you to render realism in an efficient and flexible workflow.
Informed by psychology and gathered from years of practical experience, I’ll teach you my knowledge of what makes a face appealing, and what mistakes you should avoid while drawing a stylised face.
I teaches you how to retain a good likeness with exaggerated face designs. In my career as professional live caricature artist for over a decade, I have drawn tens of thousands faces and gained extensive knowledge of how likeness works.

The technique I teach is independant of softwares and platforms. I use Procreate or Photoshop to do the demo. But you can also use other softwares.
I can teach on a beginner level too, but my course is not suitable for total beginners. You can show me your works so that I can tell you if we can do a meaningful session.
