A course by Julien Schleiffer
From a young age, Julien has enjoyed observing people and their interaction with the urban landscape and embodying all this in his drawings. He taught himself illustration and digital painting after studying Applied Arts at the Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués, and later, a Master's.
As his work began gaining popularity online, he started to collaborate with clients such as Stella Artois, the SNCF, and Linkoffice. He has also worked alongside Quentin Bailleux on a film that pays tribute to a famous video game. Passionate about the digital world, Julien loves the imperfections in his drawings and recreating them using his graphics tablet.
