Interview with
Concept Artist LOVECACAO
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths when you work?
I always aim to differentiate each new illustration from the one before it, and with this approach, I’ve created work while experimenting with a range of genres, colors, styles, textures, and lighting.

Through this class, I hope to share the processes I’ve experienced and the expertise I’ve gained.
Question.02
