Reviews of Actual Students
Student A
I didn’t hesitate to apply for 1hyeonn’s private tutoring because I was curious about black-and-white illustrations! She gave feedback on my personal works and taught me where I could fix them to be even better. She also taught me the differences between black-and-white and color illustrations, which helped me get a better grasp of things. Her feedback precisely pointed out what I was feeling uncertain about. Her knowledge left me in awe the entire class! I had a ton of fun because she is very professional but easy-going, which made it easy to learn and engage. I’d love to learn from her again if there is another chance!

Interview with
Illustrator 1hyeonn
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths to be when you work?
While it’s easy to find theories and guides on color illustrations, my artwork mainly consists of black-and-white illustrations, which may feel relatively unfamiliar to the general public. These are commonly thought to be easy to draw, but black is actually a very tricky color. You need to know several rules to use it properly. I have a personal definition of black based on different theories and my goal is to create appealing illustrations, even with achromatic colors. I want to share how to draw stunning drawings only using achromatic colors like black and white.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths incorporated into the curriculum of this class?
The most notable characteristic of black-and-white illustrations is the use of ink drawing. In this class, you’ll learn how to apply ink drawing and its usage and effects while analyzing and working on various image exercises. By the time you finish, you’ll have gained a solid understanding of ink drawing and the ability to apply it in your own way.
Question.03
What is the purpose of this class
and what makes it stand out from others?
Illustrators commonly rely on their intuition and artistic sense when drawing black-and-white illustrations. This class, however, focuses on creating stable illustrations based on the understanding of theory and precise planning, rather than something intangible like intuition and artistic sense. You’ll get answers to the questions you’ve had regarding black-and-white illustrations, and learn how to establish your own application methods.
Question.04
Please leave a message for future students and aspiring creators.
This class is a summary of the expertise and knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career, explained in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope it provides opportunities for you to get one step closer to black-and-white character illustrations.
