Drawing and painting workshops by Nanda van Dijk
About me
Hi, my name is Nanda van Dijk, and it would be my great pleasure to help you strengthen your drawing skills!
I started drawing when I was a child. Now, I work as a freelance illustrator and animator on well-known commercials and feature-length animated films for theaters. Are you curious about my other work? Visit the portfolio tab to see my animation and storyboard work.
Anime and Manga have always been a great source of inspiration for me, especially when I was a teenager. I was a big fan of Card Captor Sakura, Ranma ½, and all the films made by Studio Ghibli.
For the past two years, I have also worked at the Sint Joost Art Academy as a teacher of Animation and Illustration. Here, I have been able to help many students develop their talents. Therefore, I am confident that I can help you too!
If you have any questions about this workshop or anything else, please contact me via the chat or through the contact form on the About page.

Digital workshops in Procreate
Leer hoe je digitaal manga kunt tekenen, of leer hoe je kunt animeren met Procreate.
Dit is een digitale tekenworkshop. Maar maak je geen zorgen, je hoeft geen tablet te hebben. Deze workshop vindt plaats in het digitale theater en iPads en Apple Pencils worden verstrekt.
Dus zelfs als je nog nooit met een tablet hebt gewerkt, is dit je kans om het zelf uit te proberen.
Aangezien deze workshop op 31 oktober is, wordt deze helemaal in een leuk Halloween thema!
De workshop is alleen in het Nederlands, maar je kunt me vragen in het Engels stellen.
Evenement: Alleen op donderdag 31 oktober, in het digitale theater bij Kreadoe.
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!
