Hi, I'm artist Jay Kim.


I'm majoring in visual development and character design in the US.

I've loved manga since I was a kid, so I started as a hobby on my own, changed my major, and went to study abroad, so I came this far before I knew it.



I actually didn't draw in American animation style from the beginning. I once imagined myself drawing action comics with ink and pen like a Japanese cartoonist. At some point, American animation began to catch my eye, and I dreamed of entering a studio like Disney or DreamWorks.


However, there was a lot of difference between the style they were pursuing and my paintings at the time. I tried to copy and draw pictures of Shiyoon Kim (Shiyoon Kim), and every time I drew, I also tried to get inspiration by displaying paintings by Cory Loftis (Cory Loftis).


Every time I go to a manga bookstore, there are a lot of writing books for the pictures I often see on TV, but why are there few American animation styles..? Where can I learn how to draw in the style I want? I had a lot of trouble doing that.


I'm happy to be hosting a class for people who draw in an American animation style that they don't often encounter in Korea. I want my class to provide small hints and a foundation for development in your paintings.

Thank you very much.
