Concept Artist
Hello, I am Erak, a freelance concept artist.
I have been working in the gaming industry
at companies like NCSOFT for over 12 years,
and have drawn various artwork
throughout my career.
Ever since I made my sketchbook
"Erak Note" in elementary school,
I have spent most of my life
drawing and painting.
Even to this day, 'Erak Note'
is getting more of its pages filled,
and I would like to share
those pages with you.
Since I have received many requests
to make an online class,
I will do my best to teach my techniques
in a fun and easy way.
I'm also going to provide
files and brushes for this class,
so don't worry and just follow my lead.
