Hello, I’m freelance illustrator Muksal. I teach classes at Raum Academy and also create commissioned artwork, including cover illustrations, in-game event illustrations, and VTuber illustrations.
For me, everything began with the desire to draw good illustrations of my favorite characters, which is why I’d like to share my expertise and study methods to help you create stunning artwork featuring the characters you love. This class will steer you in the right direction so you can choose what to study and continue creating art instead of simply copying others. I hope it provides useful guidance for those who feel lost on their drawing journey.

Student AI used to feel stuck whenever I couldn’t figure out what I should work on more or how to complete a drawing. Then I met Muksal, who taught me what I needed to study, how to flesh out and improve my illustrations, and the basic skills that everyone knows but fails to apply. Thanks to her, I now push myself to use more diverse compositions and colors and can bring my work to completion.

Student BI started taking Muksal’s class just when I was feeling a sense of inadequacy in the illustration process. She showed me how to study what I needed, and I was able to immediately apply her advice to my work, which was my favorite part of the class. Creating illustrations one by one, I could put into practice all the techniques I learned in class. As a result, my artwork became more diverse and solid, and I felt much more confident about my creation process, which was greatly satisfying.

Interview with
Illustrator Muksal
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths when you work?
When working on an illustration, I spend a lot of time thinking about what makes a character look attractive and how to create beautiful lighting, and such efforts can be felt clearly in the completed work. Likewise, in this class, I’d like to share what I’ve learned by studying the looks of characters and the moods of illustrations, as well as how to apply such knowledge to the use of light. I believe my strength is that I can explain these topics effectively.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths incorporated into the curriculum of this class?
This class explores ways to give a specific look to a character, focusing on the key points so that students of all levels can understand. Also, for those struggling to grasp how light should look in an illustration, the curriculum comes with simple, easy explanations of theory and abundant demonstrations, which will make your creation process much easier.
Question.03
What are the purpose and unique qualities of this class?
This class focuses on male character illustrations, including how to draw male characters with different looks and the keys to making them more charming, which will be especially useful for beginners. I’ll also share my unique expertise. I know that many want to know how I use light when coloring, and that’s why the section on coloring and light takes up a considerable part of the curriculum. Lastly, I’d like to teach you study methods that are truly practical and helpful for your creations so that you can go beyond simply learning theory.
Question.04
Please leave a message for future students and aspiring creators.
Even if your skills aren’t at the level you’d like right now, I encourage you not to blame yourself or feel overly stressed. Many struggle to acknowledge how hard they work, even when they’re putting continuous effort into studying and drawing. Drawing is hard because you often lack encouragement as you work to improve, and it’s not easy to have your hard work recognized. However, if you continue to support and believe in yourself during challenging times and keep drawing what you love, more and more people will appreciate your work, helping you grow into the artist you aspire to be. Please trust yourself and stay true to who you are, drawing whatever makes you happy.
