Interview with
Illustrator SENA 8ito
Question.01
What is the purpose behind this class, and what do you think sets it apart from others?
This class allows you to intuitively choose the composition techniques that feel most important to you and apply it to your artwork in a way that lets you develop your own unique style. Composition involves various concepts such as planning, messages, techniques, and targets, so I hope to empower you to tackle these concepts however you want. In addition, I also included lessons on animation to help you expand the scope of your illustration.
Question.02
What do you consider your strengths
when you work?
I create compositions based on theory and analysis rather than intuition. I have my own theoretical approach and try to incorporate something new into each of my works in an effort to produce unique illustrations that stand out from others, which I believe has allowed me to keep improving myself and survive as a freelancer for a long time.
Question.03
How are such strengths integrated into this class curriculum?
This class includes in-depth demonstrations of illustration processes that use straightforward and fundamental illustration theories as well as a range of composition techniques. I will help you understand the principles of illustration in your own unique way instead of simply working on exercises, so you can build an expertise all your own.
