Illustrator
Hi! I'm Zeklewa, a full-time professional
illustrator in the video game industry
with expertise in anime-style illustrations.
I started drawing as a hobby
when I started teaching myself
how to draw 3 years ago.
Before I jumped into the art world,
I was a computer science graduate
pursuing a Master's degree.
The more I drew, the more
I realized my passion for
creating beautiful anime illustrations
is one to stay.
I hope to inspire a
new generation of artists
to join the art journey
that I came to love so much.

Interview with
Expert Illustrator
Zeklewa

Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
& What makes your class different from other classes?
I think the topic of perspective drawing and photobashing are important topics that are overlooked. I want to share my strengths to take the quality and finesse of your illustrations to the next level.
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
I started taking commercial commissions while attending graduate school, as companies were contacting me about promotional work using my art. When there were too many requests, I had to make an active decision to choose between graduate school and an art career, and I finally decided on the latter. Since then, I've been drawing for commercial projects in the industry!
Please share your thoughts on the industry's job market and what you see in the industry's future.
The finesse involved in drawing and blending both the environment and characters to create a complete illustration.
