EB十
Hi, I’m freelance illustrator EB十. With calm-looking girl characters as my main subject, I create character designs, in-app/promotional illustrations, and Live2D models for genres like games, novels, and VTubers.
The freelancing market requires you to be your own PR agent and position yourself as a trendsetting artist with a distinctive style. With this class, I’d like to share my idea of trendiness, which I’ve been researching constantly, as well as my secrets to creating illustrations that grab people’s attention.

Interview with
Illustrator EB十
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths
when you work?
I believe it’s my unique art style and ability to depict fine details. Although my main genre is anime-style girl illustrations, I also depict a lot of fine details to create a realistic look similar to a photograph, which I think makes my style more appealing.
Question.02
How are such strengths integrated into this class curriculum?
I dedicated a large part of the curriculum to explaining coloring and depiction, as many learners requested. I also divided the class into parts such as the face, hair, skin, and clothing, all of which have different textures, and showed how to depict them realistically using basic theory. This in-depth curriculum will be especially helpful for those who like my art style.
Question.03
What is the purpose behind this class, and what do you think sets it apart from others?
This class will help you upgrade your art’s quality by focusing on character depiction. Drawing on my experience as an instructor, I designed it to help those who know the basics of illustration learn more advanced illustration theory.
Question.04
Please leave a message for future students and aspiring creators.
Although many think that artistic sense is an innate quality, I strongly believe you can learn it through studying and looking at a lot of references. I hope that sharing my expertise as an illustrator will help you awaken the artistic sense deep inside you.
