Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Anthony. I have over 15 years of experience drawing and 3 years teaching art. Throughout my journey, I've discovered some key missing links when practicing drawing dynamic, flowing figures and design. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking for fresh approaches, I focus on helping you put life into your figure drawing and figure invention.
During the pandemic lockdowns, I started tutoring drawing foundations on Superprof, which led me to realize my passion for teaching. Since then, I've provided one-on-one lessons for students ranging from young children to adults, adapting each session to different skill levels. My teaching emphasizes foundational drawing skills—such as line accuracy, proportions, gesture, and anatomy—that are essential to bringing fluidity and energy to your work.
Currently, I work as a Visual Arts Instructor with the City of Toronto. I believe in guiding students through their creative journey with encouragement, personalized feedback, and practical techniques they can use in their own art.
