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.

This is one of the courses that has helped me the most for my artistic training. Gabriel Gomez is an incredible artist and I really like his work. Having the opportunity to see his work process and follow the steps with him has been invaluable to me. I apply the process to all my ambient illustrations today. I loved!
