Draw Dreamy Fantasy Artwork
When you’ve had a long day, escape to your own fantasy world. You can create scenes from your dreams in the chibi (anime/manga) style. Princes, princesses, talking teacups, mermaids, horses with wings! Anything you can imagine, you’ll learn how to draw.
If your life lacks imagination, take a break and come learn with me!
Drawing with Photoshop
I will introduce some Photoshop tools and brushes to help you improve all your illustrations. You will walk away knowing how to create dreamlike scenes that look as though they’re melting; an effect that can only be created with Photoshop.
I'll guide you through everything I know about Photoshop, including my tips and shortcuts! Learn about setting up your workspace, useful shortcuts and commonly used tools, as well as my personal fantasy brush sets. I want to share all my secret techniques I use to create these fantasy masterpieces with you.
Drawing in the "Deforme" or "Chibi" Style
To start, first let's make a sketch! "Deforme" is a sketching technique where transformations, reductions, and distortions are used to exaggerate and make your characters dreamlike. I will show you step by step how to draw soft, beautiful forms, which will make your characters look like they are straight out of an anime.
Drawing Objects
Other than characters, I will teach you to draw the objects that make up a detailed fantasy illustration. We'll slice objects into smaller sections to better analyze them and make them easier to draw. Then we'll go over how to paint objects faster to save time.
Soft and Dreamy Coloring
Learn my method of using soft hues to create a living and dreamy atmosphere. Just because you want to paint a soft texture doesn't mean you should ignore volume or contrast! Let's take a closer look at simple light theory and how to apply it to your illustrations through the activity of drawing your own daytime and nighttime illustrations.
We will also cover how to add other colors in the process of creating atmosphere. The goal is to make the existing colors in your illustration much more colorful and rich! Learn how to create the soft but defined textures of my illustrations.
Bring your pictures to life with light and color
A sunny day with sunshine, a night with stars, and a dark, cloudy sky. Learn how to handle light and apply it to your pictures based on the weather and the situation of your illustration. In addition to natural lights, you can create your own special light to create a dreamy atmosphere in your artwork.
At first, making a story can be difficult.
But don't worry! The thunder clouds seen on your way to work, the rain that comes down the window in spring and the cries of frogs in the forest, the night sea and fireworks that you saw when you were young, and the candle you lit during nights you couldn’t sleep. Everything in life can become the subject of a painting. Join me and practice finding inspiration from your everyday life.

Curriculum
Creator
Wedji
Fairytales and sometimes dreamy illustrations are made of flowers and girls. From everyday spaces to fantasy spaces, we aim to transfer the story of each character to the canvas of reality.
Painting is a very attractive medium by itself where you can create things that don’t exist in reality at your fingertips. I feel that I am communicating with the world by depicting the existence of fantastical things in my head, capturing my own story, and sharing the work with people. Artists are often comforted by the act of drawing.
I want to share the charm painting with my students! :)
