for Visual Development

This drawing course is designed to help beginners build strong foundations and confidently create well-structured environments.

“I’m not confident in my skills.”

Maybe you think good ideas come naturally to others. Maybe visual development artists just know what works. Maybe you look at cityscapes and don’t know where to start.

The truth is: cityscape drawing is a teachable skill.

Strong environments aren’t random. They’re built on structure, perspective, scale, and clarity, all things you can learn. In this course, you’ll start with simple foundations, then build streets, buildings, and spaces step by step, turning basic shapes into complete cityscapes.

That’s where your journey begins.

"Drawing environments just isn’t my thing.”

You love cityscapes, the streets, buildings, and the atmosphere, but when you open Photoshop, you freeze. Where do you even begin? How do you turn a blank canvas into a real scene?

Maybe you’ve sketched a few lines, felt lost halfway, and thought everyone else just gets it. They don’t. Environmental art isn’t talent, it’s a process.

In this course, I’ll guide you step by step through how to build environments in Photoshop, starting from your first lines all the way to a finished, presentable piece.
You’ll learn how to prepare your canvas, create confident linework, add color and light, and organize your work into a clean portfolio-ready layout.

This course is made for complete beginners, curious artists, and anyone who wants structure instead of guesswork.

I’ll show you how to get there.

Hey, I'm Lara!

I'm a visual development artist, art director, award-winning author, and storyteller from Spain, based in London, UK.

I specialise in bringing concepts and ideas to life, with a special focus on environments, colour keys, and style exploration/ development. I’ve worked across different industries and disciplines - from animation to videogames, to publishing, to content creation and teaching - which has grounded and honed my storytelling skills as a common denominator, giving me a broader view and understanding of style versatility, project limitations & opportunities, and target audiences.

As an artist, I drive my storytelling from the small joys I perceive around me, nature (water bodies and forests especially), history, beautiful shapes, life experiences and emotions, and atmospheric colours. I have a special attachment to anything that feels nostalgic, analogue, and relatable. Off-set, collage, textures, and anything that feels physical and potentially imperfect are details I always aim to implement in my work, bringing in a unique graphic style.
