Qualifications for “Adobe Illustrator”


I clarify the difference between pixel and pixel independent digital art.

A thorough familiarization of Adobe Illustrator tools is the first emphasis during lessons.

The benefits of using a pen tablet will be explored.

I will encourage students to have a real world project in mind to apply learned Illustrator skills.

Drawing has always been my passion since very early childhood.

Since the 90's to the present, I am a working, community contributing freelance illustrator, graphic designer and exhibiting fine artist.

My tutoring experience started in Bonn, Germany, teaching part- time kindergarten- 4th graders ESL through English nursery rhymes, I sang and played on guitar. Back here in my native California, since 2005, I teach adults, middle and high school students traditional gestural energy drawing and Japanese manga at Frank Bette Center for the Arts, Alameda, CA and most currently de- mystifying art techniques for kids and adults at Alameda Art Lab, Alameda, CA.

Following the live and give traditions of my Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA and College for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI instructors, I am here to offer my professional skills, techniques and tips in traditional, vector, raster and fine art.

I am all about hands on instruction. We should have an agreed upon project to ensure you have something visually tangible to be proud of at the conclusion of our work together.

Let's have fun!

Very knowledgeable

Kenny did a great job teaching Kate about some of the fine points of Illustrator. We enjoyed working with him. He was very easy to work with, pleasant and on time!

Doug, 1 lesson with Kenny

Has the knowledge, the skills, the attitude we need.

Kenny has been working with my developmentally disabled son, who is a talented artist. Kenny has provided both hands-on help with drawing technique and practical help about pricing in the commercial are world. I'm grateful for his help and looking forward to seeing him again.

Patient Tutor

I hired Kenny to show my son Photoshop, and my son was happy! Kenny held my son's attention for an entire hour, his mother says that's miraculous! I would hire Kenny again!

Kevin, 2 lessons with Kenny

Ken was a very patient and knowledgable tutor, his personality bonded with my son. My son learned a lot from him.

Since illustrator is such a big program, it was important that my tutor, a stranger to my home, made me feel comfortable and would determine my motivation and the speed at which I could learn once I got started. I knew nothing about illustrator before Ken came into my home except that I have to learn it as quickly as possible. Ken was subjectively able to make all necessary adjustments in his teaching style to help me learn quickly, smoothly, and so we covered a lot of territory. He is really quite an excellent tutor especially for those students who are willing to learn because he has a great wealth of knowledge about graphic design and art systems.

Thanks, Kenny!

Kenny helped me get through enough hurdles to keep making more progress in Illustrator. Friends do not let friends work in Illustrator alone. Thank you so much.

Kenny is a very nice person, he is knowledgeable and patient. I didn't have any knowledge about Adobe Illustrator before, he got me started. Thank you!

Very Accommodating

Kenny was very helpful in regards to my specific designing questions and needs. He showed me some great tools and tricks that make designing on Illustrator faster and more professional.

Marcy, 1 lesson with Kenny

Looking forward to the next session.

Kenny made me feel extremely comfortable and explained everything clearly. He was willing to answer all questions at any time and I fully understood the material. I'm looking forward to our next session. Thank you Kenny.

Paul, 3 lessons with Kenny

Great drawing instruction, very thoughtful person!

Kenny has been very responsive from the beginning of our communication. My 6 year old would like to draw better and Kenny has been very thoughtful in his approach to help him plus has helped me better understand the process by which a 6 year old can learn and thrive to become a better artist. My son is no Picasso, he just loves to draw and wants to be able to do better. Kenny was great with him, talked to him like he was a 'person' (pet peeve when people talk to my kid like he won't understand what they are saying), listened to him attentively, and seems to come prepared, with a general idea in mind of how to approach lesson. Really pleased so far and looking forward to more lessons.

Great Tutor

Kenny was a great teacher. He showed me all that I had questions on regarding Illustrator and also provided some insight on better ways to enhance my product by the use of maybe Photoshop. I will be meeting him again to go over Photoshop. I would recommend Kenny to anyone learning. He is patient and explains himself well. He kindly provided examples and also had me drive to make sure I was understanding.
