Hello, I'm hide, a freelance animator and YouTuber. I've worked as an animation director and key animator on numerous anime titles such as ONE PIECE, Precure, and Attack on Titan. These days, I also share drawing tutorials and content through my YouTube channel.
In this course, I aim to help you practically master how to efficiently draw various character faces from any angle, based on my experience in the animation industry. Rather than just focusing on “knowledge,” I hope the act of drawing itself will help you build a solid foundation in figure drawing.

Interview with
Illustrator hide
Question.01
What is your unique strength as an instructor, and how is this course different from others?
I've worked for many years as an animator on well-known titles like ONE PIECE, Precure, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, The Idolmaster, Pokémon, and Crayon Shin-chan. As an animator, you're often handling multiple projects with different styles at once, so being able to adapt to any style is a critical skill and that adaptability has become my personal strength. This experience directly shaped the content of this course. Through it, I hope to share the skills and knowledge I've gained as an animator and help learners improve their drawing ability.
Question.02
What do learners in this field typically struggle with most, and how does this course help them overcome it?
Many people draw faces based on intuition but still feel something is off or awkward without understanding why. This course helps identify the root cause of those inconsistencies and teaches a solid foundation for drawing the head and face with clarity. By learning how to break things down and differentiate features, you'll gain the skills to capture characters from multiple angles with confidence and create more convincing illustrations.
Question.03
What is your perspective on the illustration industry and its future?
In an era where AI can generate images with ease, individuality and influence especially through platforms like social media are becoming increasingly important for artists seeking work. The ability to adapt to various character styles and angles is a key factor in meeting client expectations and building trust. I believe this course provides exactly the kind of skill set that will help artists stay competitive and stand out.
Question.04
Please leave a message for the students.
To improve your illustration skills, having knowledge is important but actually drawing and gaining hands-on experience is just as crucial. This course is designed to help you build both. Whether you want to freely draw faces from any angle or you're a beginner unsure of where to start, I hope this course gives you the tools to level up and move forward with confidence in your artistic journey.
