Illustrator Neg
Question.01
What are the key points of this CLASS+?
In this course, we’ll be diving deep into illustration production, explaining atsunuri painting techniques that weren’t covered in previous lectures and producing illustrations in real time. I'll also be giving my critique of illustrations sent in by my followers.
Question.02

The goal of this course is to help you break out of a slump and become more efficient with your illustrations, using examples from my past works and ones people have sent me.
Question.03
How are the instructor’s strengths reflected in this curriculum?
The strength of my work is that I really enjoy drawing figure-on-background illustrations. So, in this course, I'm going to explain how to make illustrating more efficient and how to reduce the time and energy put into it. Another aspect is that I'll be able to use feedback from people who are just starting to learn illustration production through my YouTube channel.
Question.04
Do you have a message for prospective students?
