Student A
Through this class, I developed the habit of completing projects to the end, even if they took a long time, and experienced the satisfaction and improvement in detail upon finishing my artwork. My skills improved quickly, allowing me to create illustrations that matched the desired look. I was able to strengthen my abilities across various areas such as color, anatomy, facial features, hair, and composition. I also received detailed, specific feedback on challenging parts and learned effective study methods. This helped me discover strengths I hadn’t noticed before and understand how to make the most of them, while resolving confusion about my drawing style, especially between semi-realistic and casual styles.

Student B
Thanks to the clear identification of my strengths and weaknesses, I knew exactly which areas to focus on and was able to grow quickly. lika provided high-quality feedback on everything from small questions to abstract concepts, making the class extremely useful. I appreciated learning both practical skills and theory, and because the instruction focuses on areas to improve, there is plenty to learn regardless of your current skill level.

Student CWhen I hit the limits of self-study while transitioning from a casual to a semi-realistic style, I was fortunate to take lika’s class. She covered everything from basic body proportions and composition to color and lighting that suit the scene, which allowed me to complete my first truly satisfying illustration and noticeably improve my skills. She explains the structure and features of handsome faces in an easy-to-understand way and generously shares tips to express characters beautifully without compromising your own style. I highly recommend this class to anyone struggling with color rendering or wanting to create attractive male characters in their own style.
