Student review
Drawing Lines with Form and Structure, Not Just Instinct
-
Student ABefore taking INHAN’s class, I didn’t feel confident about drawing forms and structures. I didn’t know what I should work on either, which eventually led me to lose interest in drawing. However, INHAN showed me the structural errors of my drawings and taught me how to understand theory, which allowed me to realize the importance of plans and processes and stop relying on my senses. Now I can analyze and address what hinders my work process, as I have the objective standards and problem-solving skills required to do so. Her class helped me reclaim my confidence in art and enjoy drawing again, which would have taken so much more trial and error and time had I studied alone!
-
Student BWith INHAN’s guidance, the lines I draw, which used to look all shaky and wobbly, have become so much cleaner and more varied. I also learned how to stylize characters like INHAN, whom I’ve always looked up to, experimenting with new styles to revamp my unchanging art style. Her focus on facial proportions and composition, in particular, allowed me to broaden the scope of my character design, which led to me feeling much more satisfied with my works. Thanks to INHAN’s kind support, I was able to make various changes that I wouldn’t have dared to try on my own. I strongly recommend her class to anyone who wants to improve their art style as I did, or anyone who is going through a slump!
-
Student CDespite knowing how to simplify the human figure, I had always struggled with drawing varied poses and compositions. However, with the abundant resources and systematic explanations provided by INHAN, I finally gained a clear understanding of the necessary principles. Her demonstration of simplifying characters for stylization, in particular, gave me all the answers I needed to succeed. Plus, I learned how to use lines and control pen pressure in detail based on gesture lines, getting a clear grasp of these skills. Everything I learned in this class was so useful and fun that I couldn’t wait to apply it to my own creations. If you want to actually improve your drawing skills, I strongly recommend you take this class!
