Bio

Over 25 years! That's how long I've been playing around with art!
I'm 34 years old and I consider myself to be pretty easygoing, cheerful and nice to everyone. I like my classes to be really chill and casual, though if you're feeling adventurous I can give you a hell of a challenge if that's what you're looking for!

I'm also extremely honest and I will gladly let you know my opinion on things. I two supervisors - Kiwi and Pistachio, my dogs, who never leave my side - and they might even...

Over 25 years! That's how long I've been playing around with art!
I'm 34 years old and I consider myself to be pretty easygoing, cheerful and nice to everyone. I like my classes to be really chill and casual, though if you're feeling adventurous I can give you a hell of a challenge if that's what you're looking for!

I'm also extremely honest and I will gladly let you know my opinion on things. I two supervisors - Kiwi and Pistachio, my dogs, who never leave my side - and they might even make an appearance on camera here and there to check out your work. They're really picky though, so you might wanna put up your best effort to please them!

As for the career technicalities: I got my diploma in Visual Arts in 2012, then immediately moved to the US in order to pursue my animation career. I spent 3 years there studying art and animation - Entertainment Design and Digital Production - in one of the best art/3D schools in the world, called Gnomon. I got my certificate in 2016, and I've worked as freelance illustrator for years. In 2018 I got hired by Treyarch to work as a character animator for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and, today, I work in the film, game and animation industry.

My art style is mostly cartoon-ghibli-manga-ish? But it tends to be very flexible and volatile, so sometimes I'll play around with more realistic drawings, and at times with with 2D animation.
Even though nowadays I prefer having illustration and drawing as a hobby, nothing stops me from teaching it to other people. There's honestly nothing more satisfying than seeing someone improve with my help.

I should also mention that I have severe ADHD and I deal with it literally on a daily basis. However, even though it does have its shortcomings, I don't consider it a fully bad thing! Not only does that mean that I work harder than a lot of people out there, but also that I know how to deal with people who are in the same position as I am. I might even be able to teach tricks on how to take advantage of it!

I hope to see you around!

I've been drawing for over 25 years and have graduated two different art majors - Visual Arts, in Brazil, and Entertainment Design and Digital Production, in Hollywood. I've worked in the entertainment and games industry and now I tutor artists from all over the world. I've been teaching art for about 3 years now and have helped people from all sorts of levels and backgrounds.
