Art & Design By Ash
About
I am a Graduate student in Art, Animation and digital art with over 10 years of experience. I love to teach creativity and art skills to students who want to learn fundamentals and want to improve their art practice. I am patient and willing to answer any questions or concerns you might have and open to any conversation regarding art and design.
My skills include:
Expert level knowledge of photoshop, Procreate and other digital design and painting apps.
knowledge of cartooning, basic anatomy, drawing in 3D, color theory, 3d visualization in maya and animation principles.
I have a masters from the academy of art university, San Francisco. I have worked prior in the animation industry, done digital matte paintings and user interface design.
I love the fact that I create visual worlds for a living and I want to impart the skills, techniques and mindset to other kindred spirits.
