Hi! I'm Maxxie and I draw high teen style illustratIons.
There are many ways to like something. Like you can eat your favorite food, wear your favorite clothing, and collect something you like, and support someone you like.
I like to draw something that I like. I wish you can find the joy in drawing something in your taste and style as well.
Class Summary
It Starts From "Yourself" Before You Start Drawing "Your Drawing"
I've been drawing for so long. Ever since I started writing, I've been drawing as a hobby. But I started being conscious about what other people thought of my drawing or following the trendy techniques. I felt like my skills were improving but I was missing my own style.
Then I started to carefully look for what I really liked. I was exploring my taste and trying to express it in my drawing and that's when I was proud to call it "my own drawing." Based on my experience, I'd like to share how to draw something of my own style and taste.
Any Tool Is Okay!
We are going to use Paint Tool SAI in this class, but you can also use Photoshop, Procreate or any other tool you like because this class is all about finding your taste and expressing it.
Class Takeaways
1. Create a Charming Character
I'm going to walk you through from the basics of drawing humans to creating your own character. I'll show you how to make a character by drawing different facial expressions, and tell you how to create the character with your style. Which hair style, make-up, facial expressions, and clothing will completely change the impression of your character. We will have so much fun making characters like playing with Barbie dolls!
2. How To Find Good Color Combination
Have you ever felt like your colors don't harmonize with each other? I'm going to show you my know-how on deciding the color tone that suits the theme and finding a good color combination.
3. Illustration With Stories
Placing small objects and props effectively will not only increase the density of your drawing but also creates stories and situations. I'm going to show you how to complete an illustration, instead of just drawing a character in my class. Let's draw your world with your own character surrounded by props that go along with the character!
4. Make an Animated Illustration
We will create a very simple frame animation with Photoshop timeline tool, which anyone can follow through. It will be super eye catching as we add the animated element to your illustration!
BONUS - Tips On Creating Merchandise
It's such a disappointment when you print something and you get a different outcome than you expected. I'm going to let you know my tips on using the right colors and CMYK color correction, so you can print the way you want.

Maxxie
Hello!
I'm Maxxie, an illustrator from Korea.
I like to draw something of my own style and don't like to get disturbed by others when it comes to choosing which style I draw.
I operate an illustration stationery brand called MXX CLUB (Maxxie Club), produce themes for Samsung Galaxy, and participate in various illustration fairs out there.
I started drawing because I liked it, but it is true that there are times when I find myself having a difficult time drawing and not being confident about my drawings. In these times, what holds me is the style and taste I've developed over the years.
It's very very difficult to draw something that makes you feel like wow I love my drawing. But I know what I like the most, and I know myself the best, so I'm the best person to express what I like the most too. This class is not about just copying and following someone or something, but I'm going to help you find your style and taste and express them yourself!
