Instructor
Gatan
Illustrator
Hello, I'm illustrator Gatan.
I've worked for about 11 years as a concept artist
including work at NCSOFT's <Blade and Soul>
and Neople's <Dungeon & Fighter> teams.
Currently, I'm working as a freelancer
together with several companies
in and out of Korea,
and sharing my real work experience with students
through my classes as an instructor.
Coloring and ways to use light are topics
that most artists generally want to learn.
However many of them
have no idea how to start
as well as
how to wrap up and complete their work.
I've prepared this class for those
who are only drawing because they weren't able to
jump over the wall of coloring.
Trust me and you'll naturally advance
one step in coloring as you follow.
Illustrator,
Gatan

Interview
with
Illustrator Gatan
Changing colors was difficult. Coloring takes much more time than drawing, so if you continue working without realizing what's going wrong with your work, many times you tend to give up in the middle. You need to exactly figure out the light used in your illustration, and need to choose colors effectively to minimize mistakes. Through this class I will help you to solve these issues on coloring.
Question.02
What do you think is the most important thing in illustration work?
What do you think is the most important thing in illustration work?
In illustration, a character's attractiveness and the atmosphere of the whole picture is important. A character's attractiveness puts more weight on the drawing, such as body or facial expressions, but the atmosphere of the whole picture depends on light and how it's used. If we give light color, it's made possible to create a specific situation and atmosphere. In this class I'll teach you about lighting directions and effects, and a way to give light color as well.
Question.03
What is your strength, or what differentiates you as an instructor?
What is your strength, or what differentiates you as an instructor?
Based on my experience on illustrating, I'll teach you skills and tips that are useful in real work. I'm currently working as a concept artist and an offline instructor at the same time.
