Styling Real Life Objects and Anatomy into Your Own
There's always a gap between learning and applying theories to anime drawings. We learn art based on real-life objects, but we have to understand how to stylize them into our own. In Coloso, we will learn how to draw stylized anatomy, including various facial expressions, by utilizing reference photos.
Creating Appealing Characters and Compositions for a Wide Audience
In creating illustrations, drawing an attractive rough sketch is the most important step out of all steps, as it determines the direction of the illustration. This class will help you develop the theories behind what makes an appealing design and composition.
Creating Artwork with Consistently Stable Quality and Lasting Appeal
Drawing consistent and stable illustrations is another essential key to being a successful and professional illustrator. This is extra critical when you take art as your job. In this class, I will teach how to consistently carry much interest, every time you draw an artwork.

Interview with
Illustrator Mungduck
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
The appeal of character design has always captivated me as an artist. Creating distinctive personas and visual identities for them appeals to my love of human expression, visual arts, and narrative. By studying anatomy more thoroughly, I was able to have a deeper comprehension of the physical and functional features of the body, which helped me to create characters that are both aesthetically pleasing and anatomically accurate. In addition, having a firm grasp of compositional concepts and visual storytelling gave me the ability to build characters who fascinate viewers and pull them into the universe I've imagined. Remember, drawing your own illustration ain't hard if you don't give up!
Question.02
What makes your class different from other classes?
I truly value understanding the fundamental theories that is must to be learned to complete an illustration. The class will cover basic theories, not hard, such as perspectives and anatomy in a simple manner to reduce errors in your drawing as much as possible. In addition, this class will guide you creating attractive characters with mesmerizing components and putting them into a illustration with unique composition and gestures, holding the viewer's gaze for longer. It is ok if completing an illustration takes a long time; but you have to draw it with best of your ability.
Question.03
Please share your thoughts on the industry's job market and what you see in the industry's future.
The art industry has been rapidly developing in just over 2 years, with increasing number of illustrators and development of AI. However, I do think it is important to keep learning at your own pace and draw what you like, keeping your interest in drawing. If you have resillience in your journey, there will be a time where your skills will sparkle. Despite the industry being so competitive, there are still so many areas that require real human artists. However, to do so, you have to increase your self-value, which I will be teaching you in this class!
