Nompang
Greetings! My name is Nompang.
I started my artistic career as a Fine art student at OCADU, then moved on to majoring in 3D Animation at Emily Carr University (ECUAD).
I've always been interested and passionate in character illustration since I was a student. There was a big turning point in 2020 when I decided to start my character illustration career as a freelance illustrator. Through my journey, I have experienced positives and negatives. This is why I have made my way through perfecting the fundamentals and have continuously made progress to make myself a professional illustrator.
In this class, we will discuss the illustration work process, including drafting, stylizing, coloring, shading, rendering, post-processing, and other critical assets to step up your illustration style. Also, the class is designed to support self-development with class exercises, essential theory studies, and techniques with textbook guides.
Are you ready? Let's go!
