A course by Gabriel Gomez
Gabriel Gomez is a French freelance artist and animator. As a child, he was always exploring new hobbies and interests and spent years attending different art classes. He later went on to study illustration at Saint-Luc art school, where he met a community of artists and began experimenting with painting in Photoshop. Whilst studying there, he was given the opportunity to work as a background painter for The Suicide Shop and, after graduating, as head of character lighting for the movie Klaus, an experience that really kick-started his career.
Since then, he’s worked with clients including Netflix and Paramount and founded his own pre-production company, Citadel Animation. He also shares his art with over 30K followers on Instagram.
