About Robin
Hi there! I am Robin L. Davis.
I am an illustrator and designer. I've worked as a professional artist since 2016 when I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2016 with a BFA focused on Sequential Art. I went on to attain an MFA degree with the same focus in 2022.
I specialize in different areas of my work, from creating comics and picture books to editorial illustrations, tutoring, and branding. I work primarily with Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate but have also created projects with Illustrator, Indesign, Premiere Pro, Figma, and Storyboard Pro.
My biggest professional project is with writer Varian Johnson, where I will be illustrating his series TWINS books 2-4 published by Scholastic. One of my biggest personal projects is a webcomic that I worked on for 10 years called Molly Comics, which is semi-autobiographical and follows a mouse navigating her self-confidence while dealing with daily hijinks.

Advanced Techniques (for more advanced classes): Exploring complex storytelling structures, dynamic layouts, and genre-specific nuances.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor:
Individualized Feedback: I provide personalized feedback tailored to each student's strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring growth at their own pace.
Real-World Application: I integrate industry insights and trends, preparing students for the practical aspects of the comics industry.
Encouragement of Diverse Styles: I celebrate and encourage diverse artistic styles, fostering an environment where students feel empowered to express their uniqueness.
Accessibility: Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, my teaching caters to a wide range of skill levels, making comic creation accessible to all.
Who the Lessons Are For:

Whether pursuing a degree in art, a casual hobbyist, or someone looking to break into the professional comic industry, the lessons are adaptable and cater to diverse aspirations and backgrounds.
