Interview with

Illustrator Phaes

Question.01

Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?

I've noticed that many beginners often struggle to effectively portray male characters. Many find it challenging to capture a sense of masculinity or simply don’t know where to start. Even those who manage to draw male characters sometimes feel that their designs lack visual appeal or aren’t engaging enough. Having primarily worked on male characters myself, I have gained a wealth of experience in this area. This is why I’m motivated to help others develop their skills and gain confidence in their character design.

Question.02

What makes your class different from other classes?

What sets my class apart from others is the specific focus on drawing attractive male characters with charisma and visual appeal. I believe that many existing tutorials do not clearly address how to achieve this. While there are numerous resources available that teach the basics of drawing male figures, not many of them have the guidance needed to create compelling and engaging designs. My art style is simple yet effective, allowing for visually striking results without overwhelming complexity. This approach makes my teachings accessible and helps students create eye-catching characters that stand out.

Question.03

Is there anything else you would like to share with your students?

Through this class, I hope that everyone not only enhances their artistic perspective but also gains valuable knowledge in illustration making. My goal is to equip you with useful insights that will make your journey as an artist smoother and more enjoyable. I look forward to seeing how you apply what you learn and grow as creators!
