Digital and Traditional Illustrator and Sculptor

Iman Z.

Hi new students! I'm Iman Z., I'm a digital and traditional artist and 3D sculptor currently at Hallmark Cards, Inc. where I've built 3+ years of relevant experience in the industry as it is NOW, not old outdated information in our ever-changing industry. I'm also a Ringling College of Art and Design alumn with a BFA in Illustration, where I received many years of classical drawing and illustration training from incredible teachers like Iliya Mirochnik, George Pratt, and Sean Murray. So excited to get to know you too!

I love working with students at all skill levels, but I specialize in anyone aged 15+ such as high school students looking to boost their portfolios to get into art colleges, college students looking to find industry jobs, and beginners of all ages looking to step into digital or traditional art for the first time. I work best with a tailored approach to each students unique goals with what they want to accomplish with their art we'll work together on what YOU want to accomplish with your art and develop a one on one plan to get there, whether it's landing that industry job, developing your own personal brand, or wanting to pursue new styles and mediums for new experiences. I have many years of experience tutoring students both in person and online.

For digital art softwares, I specialize in teaching Adobe Photoshop, Maxon Zbrush, and Adobe Illustrator basics. For traditional art, I'm practiced in gouache, oil, acrylic, charcoal, and more. But, as always, the medium is totally flexible as drawing and design skills are largely universal! My lessons can be whatever you'd like them to be: regular check ins, portfolio reviews, project oriented guidance, skill focused lessons, I'm flexible to your learning style and again, whatever your goals are.

Let's get to work!
