Approved Subjects

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator

I have tutored illustrator since before creative cloud. I know a lot of cool tricks and ways to increase efficiency. I will show you ways to solve problems even when you don’t remember specific tricks. My experience is in logo design and illustration.
Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

I have used Photoshop professionally in my graphic design career for 4+ years and have continued to use it in my illustration career from 2008 - present. I know every tool within Photoshop and how to use it to my advantage!
Drawing

Drawing

I have been drawing my whole life primarily in graphite. I have taken dozens of drawing classes including perspective, character, and animal drawing. Figuring drawing classes have been by far the majority of the drawing classes I have taken. I have a large quantity of finished drawings, sketches, and renderings that apply to illustration and concept art. I am conceptually and technically sound in drawing that applies to anything such as concept art, likeness, and creature design.
Graphic Design

Graphic Design

With a background in the entertainment industry I designed hundreds of movie standees and interactive experiences. More recently I have headed advertisement campaigns for nutritional supplements.
Painting

Painting

As a painter of many mediums including acrylic, oil, guache, and digital, there isn't much that I can't paint. My patience and understanding will allow me to tutor students regardless of where they are starting in their artistic journey.

Very knowledgeable and very nice and patient

Taylor was an incredible help to me. He was able to help me with Adobe illustrator specifically a project that encompassed creating digital renderings of shoes for footwear design and development. Taylor helped me with the pen tool and also helped me with clipping masks amongst many other quick hot keys and shortcuts in the program. Taylor is a great tutor and I am excited to have met him and even more excited to work with him moving forward.

TREVOR, 8 lessons with Taylor

Excellent tutor

Great instructor in every way. Clearly knows Photoshop inside and out. Also quickly grasped my project and vision. Easy to work with and calm and patient. Would use again without question.

John, 1 lesson with Taylor

Knowledgably and patient teacher

Beginning skills and basic drawing concepts. Set goals and discussed plan to reach goals. Spent time getting to know each other and reviewed my drawing tools. We have set up a recurring schedule for the next few months and I was given some homework between classes.

Mark, 6 lessons with Taylor

Worked well with my two kindergarteners!

I asked Taylor to teach drawing and painting because he wasn't too far away from where I live. He worked well with my two kindergarteners! they can be a lot to handle sometimes.

Sam, 5 lessons with Taylor

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I have had two classes with Tylor. He is an amazing tutor. I had other tutors before him. Some were incredible in drawing but they could not understand my issues and could not teach me the way that I really understand the concepts that I need. Tylor on the other hand, realized where my issue was and had me to practice on it. For the first time I think this is going somewhere. Tylor was exactly what I needed.

FARINAZ, 2 lessons with Taylor

Exactly what I was hoping for

Taylor has a wealth of knowledge and I learned a ton from him in just two lessons. He provides quick and helpful critique that helps me see what's wrong with my artwork and how I can improve.

Brandon, 2 lessons with Taylor

Always Very Helpful.

Taylor helped organize converting a brochure from InDesign to a PDF. Very helpful and would definitely use Taylor for assistance in the future. I am very appreciative.

Sharon, 10 lessons with Taylor

Patient and practiced tutor.

Really helpful and encouraging with our lessons. I've always wanted to learn to draw, and it's helpful to have someone concerned with both keeping me focused and making sure I'm trying to have fun with it. Taylor has also offered me excellent additional resources, and made sure I have specific tasks to focus on between lessons. Looking forward to future lessons.

Valerie, 4 lessons with Taylor

Excellent!

Taylor was patient with me and gave me tips that were well worth the time. I gained several tips that will improve my experience. I was finished telling how well he did but the machine wanted me to tell more so... he was great.

Bruce, 2 lessons with Taylor

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

Taylor taught a great first session! He was extremely patient and great at explaining intro concepts. He encouraged me to practice my new skills which was helpful to do with him in person. Looking forward to the next session.
