KETO
Hi, I’m KETO, a freelance illustrator, instructor, and concept artist. What makes the genre of illustration tricky is that, while it feels easy and fun at first, the more you learn about it, the more challenging it gets. However, having a solid understanding of basic theory and your own style will save you from such trouble.
This class is filled with the expertise I gained from working as a concept artist for a major game company and teaching character composition classes. I hope it equips you with the skills to create dazzling and detailed illustrations, as well as a strong sense of accomplishment.

Interview with
Concept Artist KETO
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths
when you work?
I believe my strengths lie in adding fine details, cleaning up, and editing. When it comes to the process, I especially enjoy the finishing stages and often spend a lot of time perfecting them. I also enjoy analyzing and organizing things, so I believe I can demonstrate a strong grasp of art theory as well.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths integrated into this class curriculum?
The curriculum covers the entire process of adding details to and editing an illustration, which I’ll demonstrate in the Chapters to provide a more diverse learning experience. This class delves into both theory and practice to help you understand both and apply what you've learned to your future illustrations.
Question.03
What is the purpose behind this class, and what do you think sets it apart from others?
I made this class to provide illustrators with a summary of theoretical knowledge that they may easily forget or neglect. I also based it on key correction theories and included a variety of hands-on exercises and class materials. They’ll help you add dazzling finishing touches to your illustration, which is what makes this class unique. Without frequent reminders, we’re likely to forget even what we already know and revert to our old habits. I hope this class serves as a “secret handbook” that you can refer to whenever you face difficulties as an illustrator.
Question.04
Please leave a message for students and junior creators.
Once you’ve built a solid foundation for illustration with this class, you’ll be able to identify and implement ways to improve your artwork. Everyone can achieve similar levels of basic skills, but it’s your own style that determines what happens after that stage. I hope the knowledge and techniques you learn from this class will help you create more diverse illustrations going forward.
