"Turn your life stories into heartwarming slice-of-life tales, told through your characters!"
Characters Are the Story.
Learn to Capture Them Right.
Learn to Capture Them Right.
Sokomin started with simple stick-figure comics, drawn for her only reader, her brother. Today, with over 40M views on Webtoon, Sokomin captivates a worldwide audience, bringing stories to life through her signature slice-of-life illustrations.
There is no story without a character. If you want to tell a story, you need a character that can tell it, and there’s no way around it. The ability to draw any character, exactly as you envision, is what sets great illustrators and storytellers apart. Whether it’s biting into an apple, a full-body stretch, or an emotional breakdown on the floor, every pose and movement adds intention and depth to your narrative.
If you’ve been struggling to get your characters looking just right, you’ve found the right place. From basic anatomy, gesture drawing, dynamic poses, all the way to clothes, props, and comic creation, you are set for solid results that will completely transform your character illustration and storytelling capabilities.

Comic Artist
Sokomin
My name is Sokomin, and I'm an artist who draws inspiration from silly, everyday moments with my friends and family. I was born in South Korea and moved to America at a young age. My journey as an artist began when I created four-panel comics featuring stick figures for my little brother, who was my only reader then.
Over the years, my passion has transformed into capturing life through illustrations and storytelling. I love sketches that breathe life into characters, emphasizing emotion and movement, and comics that blend humor and personality seamlessly.
I have a large folder filled with notes for every random idea that comes to me, often just as I'm about to fall asleep. So far, 20% of these ideas have made it into my work. I'm not lazy; I'm just waiting for the rest of my ideas to mature over time, or as I like to call it, “fermenting.”

Interview with
Illustrator sokomin
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
Character and story are two topics I absolutely like, and when combined, they create something even more powerful and resonant for viewers. I’m excited to share the notes I’ve gathered over the years as I honed my stylized figures and learned which stories work — and which don’t.
Question.02
What makes your class different from other classes?
My class stands out by focusing on creating relatable characters through storytelling while preserving their unique characteristics. I emphasize helping artists grow by providing clear, practical examples to guide their artistic journey. The lessons focus on learning the basics while offering easy guidance to help each artist develop and refine their own distinct style even after this class has ended.
Question.03
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?
Having a keen eye for your surroundings and the ability to tell a story in a balanced way — neither too overwhelming nor too dull — is important, whether for an illustration, character, or comic. Most importantly, getting to know yourself, right down to the things you enjoy, like what you wear, eat, or watch, helped me develop a personal style - one that reflects my thoughts and interests! These helped me stand out as an artist.
