Interview with
Illustrator HOOD
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths
when you work?
My strengths lie in my interpretation of characters and ability to showcase their appeal through my unique coloring techniques, figure drawing methods, and camera angle composition. While I often consider many directions when drawing a single illustration, I put special focus on creating characters that can pull the audience into the scene. Additionally, my fast work process, which incorporates Clip Studio Paint’s outline functions, has garnered a lot of interest, and I’d like to take this opportunity to share it in detail.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths incorporated into the class curriculum?
Since many people are curious about my streamlined workflow and coloring techniques, this class will focus on how to color characters and objects and how to create an efficient illustration process. Rather than focusing on the fundamentals that can easily be found in many other classes, I’ll share the key techniques that set my work apart and will help you highlight your characters’ appeal to the fullest.
Question.03
What is the purpose behind this class, and what do you think sets it apart from others?
This class will cover everything that I prioritize when drawing throughout the entire process of creating an illustration. As basic information can now be found almost anywhere, beginners can make rapid progress through good observation skills alone. However, once they reach the intermediate level, that pace often slows, and they develop a need for more refined, advanced skills. I aim to offer a path for growth to those who find themselves at this stage by teaching the keys to depicting captivating characters in their work and even guiding you through hands-on practice with simple coloring techniques.
Question.04
Please leave a message for students and junior creators.
While working hard is important, I believe that exposing yourself to new things drives the most growth in your art. I hope you can improve your observation, creativity, and perspective through my class. I also hope you continue to challenge yourself and study to improve further.
