Discord Mentorship


Pursuant to having taught the fundamentals of Art and Design at the SAE institute in Amsterdam and given various masterclasses at the Dutch Comic Con, I am now happy to be offering one on one online mentorships. I am providing dedicated artists an opportunity to better themselves in their craft and in their career. The process goes beyond mere instruction, and instead offers guidance for artists to ask themselves the right questions, in order for them to be able to grow and settle into the field they desire.

-Dragan Laurentiu, Illustrator & Concept artist @ Playtika


''Joel really helped me with my art journey where my artschool failed. He does not sugarcoat his feedback, but is always respectful as his main intention is to help you grow as much as possible. Even though I finished the mentorship years ago, I still use his exercises and tips to this day to help me grow as an illustrator & animator''
