Character Design
Character design is my specialty and passion. I can provide you with characters that have appeal and convey a sense of life and personality, making them both visually and emotionally interesting for the target audience of your project.
Being well trained in both technical and figure drawing allows me to produce drawings that have a sense of clarity, mass and volume, making them easy for animators, 3D modelers and sculptors to work from. In addition, my organized way of working will ensure clear communication during the creative process and that the deadlines are met.

FORCE Drawing & Design Mentorship
Mentorship is one of the fastest ways to learn. I experienced massive improvement in my artistic skills in a short amount of time while being trained by my mentor, Michael Mattesi. This made me truly aware of the value of mentorship. He pointed out things to improve in my work that might have taken me years to figure out on my own.
After experiencing the value of mentorship firsthand, I decided to make myself available to mentor other artists and speed up their progress. If you want me to help you take your artistic skills to the next level, sign up here:
Here's what some of my current mentees have to say:
"I have been able to gain a better understanding on how to draw with force under Swendly's direction. His criticisms are clear and show me where I can improve, and introduce new approaches to drawing that I would not have discovered on my own!"
-Tony Fermental
I am very satisfied with this mentorship. Swendly is very committed, he is a professional and explains everything very clearly. In addition, he also demonstrates how to do it, which has helped me a lot. In this short time, he taught me so much about force, form and perspective. Also, Swendly is just a really great guy! I loved working with this force master!
-Yoran Bordewijk
Swendly is the magician who pulls back the curtain to show the illusion. While there are no shortcuts to becoming a great draftsman in art, he patiently guides you and gives you the insight to turn your weaknesses into strengths. If you're looking to draw your magic, then look to the master who can teach you the tricks.
