Interview with
Chyan & Okku
Question.01
Who Should Take This Class?
Chyan
This class is for those who already know theory but are having difficulty applying it in practice, those who stumble during the detailing stage even if their images look good in earlier stages, and those who try to create different tones for different drawings but always end up with the same vibe. I think my class will help solve those problems.
Okku
I think this class is great for beginners who want to learn how to apply basic drawing theory to digital drawings, aspiring industry players who want to draw their own characters, and those who have concerns about their designs and drawings.
Question.02
What Are Your Strengths?
Chyan
I want to help students who are unable to express themselves with their drawing skills. I plan to show students a variety of ways to create amazing drawings with the skills they already have, and I prepared a lot of actual drawing exercises to show students how to self-examine their work and provide themselves with feedback.
Okku
My work currently focuses on drawing trendy designs that fall in line with what people are into, so I plan a lot of what I create around that. I think my strengths mostly lie in creating characters that have mass appeal. I want to offer insights based on my experiences and show students how to take an analytical approach to planning, coloring, and illustration while breaking down every step along the way.
