About Ian
I am a professional multidisciplinary artist and creative mentor with a Master’s Degree (Distinction) in Creative Practice and over ten years of experience in visual project delivery. My practice bridges traditional fine art techniques with modern digital production, ranging from observational drawing and physical painting to digital illustration and real-time 3D pipelines.
My approach as a tutor is grounded, practical, and non-judgemental. Navigating both high-level academic work and complex creative projects has taught me that artistic growth requires structure, not pressure. I specialise in breaking down technical drawing skills, visual narrative concepts, and software tools into clear, manageable steps so you can build skill and produce great work without feeling overwhelmed.
You will receive reliable, patient, and dedicated guidance tailored entirely to your pace and goals, whether you are an adult beginner starting from scratch, an experienced artist preparing a portfolio, or a neurodivergent creator seeking a calm, structured learning environment.
