Instructor

Ikki
Hi, I'm IKKI, a webtoon post-correction assistant and illustrator. I’ve worked on projects that capture the viewer's attention and convey emotions through diverse expressions of light and color. I have been a webtoon instructor for 4 years, teaching many students from SWA and Chungkang College of Cultural Industries' School of Manhwa Contents.
As the comic and webtoon markets have developed and full-color works have become commonplace, I believe that conveying information through color is more important than ever before. I hope you’ll join me in this class, which contains all the expertise and industry knowledge I've gained from teaching students and working in the webtoon industry, and learn the real-world post-correction techniques used in the field.
Student Reviews
Class Recommended By Ikki's Students
-
IKKI’s explanations are very specific and broken down into practical steps. I’m the type of person who learns best from detailed explanations, tips, and precautions when practicing, and IKKI provided tips I could immediately put into practice. Additionally, IKKI offered valuable guidance on things to keep in mind while practicing and specific ways to improve, rather than just one-off tips often found on YouTube.
-
I've always struggled with layouts, so I decided to work on improving them. In just four months, I've noticed a significant change in my eye for drawing! My sense of color, in particular, has greatly improved, and as a result, I've been able to solve many of my problems in this area.
-
It’s easy to teach theory to beginners who don’t know what to do, but there’s no place that tells you how to put that theory into practice, what to focus on, what to pay attention to specifically when learning on your own, or how to practice. I can confidently say that IKKI's class covers all of these aspects and enables you to learn effectively.
-
I learned so much in IKKI’s class. I went from not knowing where to start to experimenting with different techniques, comparing my new drawings to my old ones, and feeling very proud of my progress. I’m so glad I took IKKI’s class—it was so much fun!

Interview with
Illustrator Ikki
Question.01
What is the purpose or key takeaway of this class?
The key point is that this is an intensive post-correction class that covers both the theory of setting work standards and practical expertise that can be applied immediately. After theoretical explanations and analyses of common story environments, such as time, place, and situation, we’ll move on to practice exercises. Additionally, we’ll explain the functions of tools that may be difficult to understand if you’ve never used them before, along with production tips. You’ll develop an eye for analyzing your work by observing how the screen changes depending on the functions used.
Question.02
What distinguishes this class from others?
The biggest difference is that this class focuses on color, one of the strengths of full-color webtoons. For color to truly be a strength, it must be interpreted by the artist. However, beginners with limited experience often struggle with the basics, such as how to choose shadow colors and which colors to use. To address this, I’ll guide you through using basic tool functions and step-by-step processes, from simple styles to vibrant corrections, and provide standards to help you make informed choices.
Question.03
What benefit does this class have for learners?
Even the same scene can look very different depending on how you approach it, so it's important to understand the features and various ways to direct a scene that matches the mood and story you want to tell. Relying solely on intuition will limit your capabilities. In this class, I’ll explain the basics and different types of directing to help you establish your own work standards and avoid the limitations of relying on intuition.
