Hi!
I’m Anzy, an artist who loves drawing cute anime characters with soft and dreamy pastel colours. I post my drawings and anime art tutorials on Instagram (@aanzzyy) and Youtube, and my work has been featured on the social media accounts of both Copic Japan and North America.
My lifelong dream is to become an anime art instructor - it makes me really happy when I am able to help others learn about and enjoy anime-style drawing! While I am mostly self-taught, I have also taken manga classes in Japan. Whatever your art goals may be, I hope I can help you, as that is what I am here to do!
