About

Hi. I’m Andrea Christen, an artist and a drawing instructor living in Königswinter, Germany. Art is my passion and has been a part of my life ever since I was able to hold a pencil.

One of my specialities is the illustration of lyrics and stories on a traditional foundation. I have created artworks for bands and brands like Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Amon Amarth, Parkway Drive, Shadowrun and Das Schwarze Auge-Myranor to name a few.

I focus on creating traditional artworks in various mediums with a preference for pencil, ink and acrylics.

Learning is an important part of my life. Among my mentors is Glenn Vilppu, with whom I study continuously at vilppuacademy.com. I recommend attending his online classes.

I’ve attended the Krüger Masterclass every year from 2019-2023 to improve my painting skills.

As a drawing instructor I teach by demonstration and give individual feedback to students of all levels.
