Student Reviews
Read the reviews from enrolled students!

Review by Park*Joo

I was aware of the basic theory of light, but needed to improve my application of it to artworks. Sometimes, I would not consider where the key light is coming from or even set the reflection in a totally off location. Lighting was way too hard for me! However, through this class, I have honed my skills in incorporating light sources into my illustrations and had the chance to peak through learning professional methods of detailed lighting techniques. This newfound knowledge has empowered me to express more dynamic silhouettes and create outstanding background compositions.
Review by Shim*Jeong

This class is much more than a curriculum that focuses solely on practice or mockups. Based on solid theoretical explanations, I created many captivating illustrations by learning to make do with little edits or adjustments. Utilizing picture examples and material studies on texture was also beneficial for efficiently shortening my work time and quickly improving my illustration quality. I truly recommend it!
Review by Lee*Min

This class was a total game-changer for me! By studying how to find optimized references and building a strong foundation, I was able to plan out my art systematically on composition and lighting based on my knowledge of theories. This class provides ways to improve the quality of your work and teaches you methods for unlocking your full potential as an artist. I am thrilled to take my art skills to the next level. Thanks, Odia Academy!
