Hi there, I am a Copenhagen-based Illustrator & concept artist working in the entertainment industry. I have worked with some of the world's biggest game & art studios: Riot Games (Los Angeles), Sixmorevodka (Berlin), and currently IO Interactive (Copenhagen). I spend a good amount of time giving talks about the creative process, mentoring, and sharing my knowledge about painting with students as well as professionals.

What people are saying

  • “It's been great overall, the explanations are quick to the point and I get to jump right into the assignments after each video, so I spend more time actively practicing the concepts and not so much sitting there passively watching 5h long lectures (which I dread). The RPG thematic is a nice little touch I enjoy too.”

    João Victor Moreira

  • "EXCELLENT! Esben is really encouraging and attentive to every student. The tutorials and assignments are also very well crafted and effective, making learning a smooth process."

    Jin Sheng

  • “This course has been amazing so far! I couldn't draw anything from my imagination before and now I'm feeling more confident after each assignment. The way Esben teaches is very unique and he explains complex topics by breaking them down into their simplest forms. Also, the community is extremely kind and there is a lot of feedback so we all grow together during our artistic journey! :)”

    Rayane Bengaoui

  • "The course has been great so far! I can already see a major improvement of faces in different positions as well as more structure in my work, two things that I needed to work on in the past. The videos have been fun and the discord help sessions have been wonderful."

FAQ

  • In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of drawing faces from imagination. The lessons are organized into 4 main chapters, with additional subchapters to make the information digestible and fun to follow along. We’ll cover the fundamentals of how to simplify first, and then learn the tools to add complexity later.

    We are not covering deep anatomical names or Latin names since I've found that they confuse most students and prove themselves less helpful when drawing. What has taken me years to learn, you can learn in 6+ hours of video content. Knowing how to draw a good face is key whether you are doing concept art or illustration. I would recommend this course to people that are beginner to intermediate.
