WHAT WILL THE STUDENTS ACHIEVE?
We will focus a lot on line art and color palettes. Then we will move to inanimate objects and how I shape and draw them. The great focus will be flowers. All these are key to giving the right feel to your drawing. We will take inspiration from fairytales and by the end of the course, we will have made together one full fairytale illustration of our favorite story.

Aggelic Yiok
Hi!
I am Angeliki Ioakeimidou, but you may call me Angelic or Yiok! I am from Greece and I work as a freelance illustrator and part-time art and drawing teacher. I have always loved drawing and I grew up watching Japanese and Russian animation.
This magical combination of art styles one could say has moved on to my own work. As an artist, student, and teacher I myself understand very well how it feels to indefinitely learn and want to grow creatively. It is not right and wrong in art there are only different choices we can make that can lead to a very unique creation every time. I love to witness that with myself and my students.
