Nanda van Dijk - Nanda Creates

About me

Hi, my name is Nanda van Dijk and I would be honored to help you strengthen your drawing skills! 

I started drawing when I was a little kid, and I now work as a freelance illustrator and animator for commercials and feature films. Please visit the portfolio tap to see some of my animation and storyboard work.

 

Drawing fantasy characters is something I've always loved to do. Ever since I was a kid, I was creating magical characters. Now I often make fantasy illustrations inspired by the games 'Dungeons and Dragons' and 'Magic the Gathering' and I print these illustrations on Alter Sleeves. These are sleeves for Magic the Gathering cards to transform the artwork of the cards.

The past two years, I've also worked at the Sint Joost school of Art as an Animation and Illustration teacher. I have helped many students elevate their drawing skills, and I am confident that I can teach you a couple of tricks as well!

If you require any further assistance about this workshop or something else, feel free to use the chat or the contact form on the about page.

It was an extremely useful workshop! She explained everything very calmly, and the drawing process was broken down into very small steps, making it incredibly easy to follow. I went along with a friend, as I actually have no experience with drawing, but even I found it incredibly successful! It has definitely sparked my interest in drawing manga! Additionally, everyone was super friendly, and we received great tips while drawing! I would recommend it to everyone.

Nanda is truly a very skilled illustrator, so you can go to her with any questions. I learned a lot and had a great time.

Had a super fun and educational workshop! I was already experimenting with Procreate myself, but Nanda came up with many handy tips that I didn't know yet! It's also great that you can ask your questions directly or request extra explanations :) I will definitely attend another workshop from her!
