Clazroom Instructor
Sinms
Hi everyone, I'm Sinms, a teacher who loves to share drawing skills. I'm currently an art instructor at Claz'room College. I've been involved in art education for over twenty years, and during that time, I've also engaged in other commercial art endeavors. Throughout my years of teaching, I've discovered that live demonstrations of drawing techniques are the most effective way for students to learn. That's why I prefer to demonstrate and explain techniques in detail, teaching students in a hands-on manner.
Our course is designed to take you on a comprehensive journey of artistic development. We'll start by mastering the basics of head anatomy, learning how to change perspectives, and understanding the fundamental shapes of the face. Once you've built a solid foundation, we'll progress to basic realistic drawing styles and explore the unique styles of 2D anime illustration. In the later stages, we'll focus on developing your character's aesthetic charm and facial expression.
We believe that every dream is precious and everyone has the ability to attain their goals.
We believe that a good school is a community full of culture, philosophy and good mentors.
Our environment embodies the dreams and will of all our students. They are the soul of this community.
They are here to tell us that passion, hard work, and commitment are more valuable than the carelessly-used word we call “talent”.
