Luc
Illustrator
Hello, I am Luc, a freelance illustrator, mainly focusing on background illustration.
My passion and specialty is in "painting" the atmosphere. With little details like lights, textures, and elements, you can add stories to the scene without any words.
Of course, it took me many researches, experiments, and countless trials and errors. For this class, I want to help you add an aesthetic atmosphere to your illustration by sharing my experiences.
Illustrator, Luc

Perfect Brushes for Your Drawing Style
Why should you create your brush when there are plenty of pre-made brushes?

Create and customize new brushes for yourself with Luc. It will save you time and expand your creativity without limit!
Master the Common Elements
You would need to add somewhat universal elements to your background illustration: the clouds in the sky, rocks, and trees on the street. These universal but key elements immediately reveal information, like its location. During this class, Luc will help you to build the skills and practice how to master these elements to add to your background illustration.
Explore the Variation in a Scene
Let's picture your favorite place. Would it look the same every day? It would look different depending on the time and weather of the day. Explore the variation you could give to your illustration by using light, color, textures, and details.

Interview with
Illustrator Luc
Why did you choose this specific topic?
It felt like a challenging topic for some people, with limited resources available to learn from. I want to provide what I can for those needing a hint on approaching certain areas. It leans towards a practical approach and observation. I believe the techniques and principles universally apply in all situations.
Where do you get inspirations for your work?
I like to experiment with everything that resonates with my aesthetic radar. Whether it is places I traveled to or things I found on the internet. I want my work to pursue life, peace, and virtue.
Is there anything else you would like to share with your students?
The most important mindset is to research and hunt for knowledge constantly. A person’s drawing reflects everything they currently know and understand. Meaning the more you learn, the more tools you have available to work with.
I believe most skills in the world can be obtained through effort and experience, not something to be born with.
