Interview

Meet the Instructor

Question 01

What do you consider your strengths in your work?

I’m familiar with observing in detail the appearance and structural characteristics that make a male character look handsome, and with applying these elements effectively in illustrations. Since I have a deep understanding of how a small change in the angle or proportions of the eye, nose, or mouth can transform the overall look, I am especially good at drawing male characters who have different charms in a more natural manner. I also value blending a character’s story into its personality and appearance and making it look more persuasive to the viewer. Likewise, I have clear ideals when it comes to coloring and try to choose emotive colors and arrange them in a beautiful, harmonious manner so the illustration can evoke both a mood and emotion. Utilizing these strengths, in this class, I’ll focus on helping you gain a structural understanding of beautiful male characters and the ability to create them in your own style.

Question 02

How are your strengths reflected in this course curriculum?

This class will help you to understand and apply the structural elements of a handsome male character, which is my specialty, and also focuses on designs where the appearance and personality blend harmoniously, as well as beautiful colors that evoke emotions and moods. It explores every stage of creating an appealing character illustration, including the detailed characteristics of facial features varying by appearance, drawing techniques to increase the overall density, placing color and the flow of lighting. This class also covers various theories, examples and demonstrations, which will allow you to boost the density, style, and quality of your illustrations in a more practical manner.

Question 03

What was the intention behind planning this course, and what makes it unique?

The curriculum of this class explores highly practical topics such as the structural charms of handsome male characters, the characteristics of different appearance and coloring techniques for evoking emotions. You’ll be able to learn how to create characters of varying appearances, rich-looking colors and build stylish compositions while understanding and applying structures, rather than just copying other works. In particular, I’ll share useful tips for blending a character’s personality into its appearance, combining colors to create a trendy look and using lights, which you can only learn from this class.

Question 04

Please leave a message for future students and aspiring creators.

As a self-taught learner, it also took a long time for me to get used to drawing, which is why I fully understand your worries and struggles. I also know that drawing is not always so fun and easy. That’s why I’d like this class to serve as a guide that helps you figure out where you should head and cheers you up when you feel exhausted. Most importantly, I sincerely hope that you learn how to work more happily and confidently through this class.
