How to draw attention to the purpose I want to convey
Hello, I'm Isobe, an illustrator. I think that in order to express the appeal that catches people's attention, it is necessary to have an accurate concept and a passion for drawing in a fun way. What do I want to convey, what do I want to express. I'll help you have a purpose and a passion for painting. I'll show you how I can draw an illustration that I want to see a little more.
So, I put all of my know-how into this class! I'll be your helper.
Basic skills and study methods that are important but easy to miss
If you know the basics of illustration, you can create a much more solid illustration. In particular, the shape part is one of the most important foundational elements. It was a difficult part for me, but I continued to study because I thought it was essential to have a form that would not hurt the degree of perfection. In this class, we'll learn about the various methods required to master basic skills, including forms, and study with you.
Since I came across a complete illustration first and began to lay the foundation later, I was more concerned about the basics and form than anyone else. So people who are having the same concerns I understand what you're struggling with. However, if you study step by step The path to growth is open to everyone! Why don't you move slowly one space at a time with me?
Bringing splendor through the depiction of light
What we see most commonly in our daily lives and can act as one of the colorful elements in paintings 'light'This is it. I always start with the light work and start the description. Even if you only describe the direction of the light and the part where it is projected, half of the atmosphere in the picture is complete. Also, even if you change the direction in which the light is projected, you can create a variety of moods and express different colors.
Therefore, the part I will mainly cover in this class is about “light,” and it is closely related to it I'm going to explain the relationship between “darkness and shadows.” Even if you understand light and darkness properly, you can improve the completeness of the picture. I'll tell you all about how to express darkness and where to draw shadows.
“Matte painting techniques” and magical correction methods that enhance attractiveness
In order to make better use of light, the background is just as important. When working on complex backgrounds, such as light pouring through leaves or light leaking in from outside the subway, it's a good idea to know how to work with free sources like illustrations. It's a process of melting an image into an illustration. I'll show you my own know-how and correction methods on how to use images to blend naturally into illustrations.
There is also a way to improve the completeness of an illustration and make it look attractive, but Calibration plays a big roleI'm doing it. I've learned the advantages of Photoshop tools, how to use them, the types of filters, and various correction effects that I've learned while drawing. Also, I'll introduce the texture. And that's not all! Learn in detail how to apply various correction methods to which illustrations.
It looks like it's finished, but doesn't it look like it's missing somewhere?
I think you've drawn everything, but you've done all the descriptions, but are there any experiences where you didn't have enough? In order to create a high-density work, it is necessary to understand the structure of the character's shape well, and even enter a detailed description that matches it. I will explain the reason to those who seem to have clearly completed it but feel that it is not enough, and demonstrate how to supplement them and how to describe them in detailI'm going to do it for you.
Everyone, descriptive power is combat power! You have to draw pictures with combat power.
Of course, the description is important, but there are many elements to a good production that enhances the degree of perfection. How to create a more lovely character, such as shape and composition, composition, and color arrangement? I am I'll show you good and bad examples of effective configurations and compositions. To make it easier for you to understand, I'm going to run the class through an example. Just follow me.
The concept you want to express. Give it to the character.
I usually draw illustrations, but when I lose interest or want to draw something different 'Concept illustration'I'll draw. I often highlight the effect by reducing the description and adjusting the visible area than usual. Sometimes Express what I want to convey more effectivelyThey can also do it for you. Concept illustrations will be a little easier to draw and decide on just one element you want to express. That's why it's important to gather a variety of references.
In the concept illustration chapter How to color eyes like jewels, how to use materials naturally, and how to give a gorgeous finishLet me know. Also, focusing on the light I learned earlier, I will try to make the character stand out even more with a short time and a simple description.
Don't worry if you can't find your direction!
The two pictures above are of the same character, but they are drawn using different coloring methods. There are so many ways to color characters. It also varies depending on the style and personality you are pursuing, and the brush you use. In my class I'm going to tell you about two cell coloring methods. However, if you have any questions, I'm going to take a quick look at it.
The painting takes on a variety of colors depending on the direction you are pursuing. I am I think painting is about finding your favorite part and improving your skills at the same timeI'll do it. I want you to think through my class about what kind of atmosphere you are looking for, what kind of characters you are looking for, and what style of illustration you like.
Since I didn't get the basics or direction from the beginning, I wandered around for quite a while. So I've come a long way, and it's only now that I'm starting to set the frame little by little. So for all of you who have a lot of trouble with illustrations It's not too late so everyone is fine! I can do enough! I want to encourage you to say that. I'll guide you so you can draw without giving up.:)

Wonderful and lovely moments you can feel in everyday life
Hello, I'm Isobe, an illustrator!
Since I was a kid, I've loved the pretty and beautiful moments I see in everyday life. I felt dreamy and happy when I looked at it blankly, so I thought I'd like to be someone who can draw such illustrations at some point. As I drew, I was frustrated many times during the long period of stagnation, and it wasn't once or twice that I didn't like being stupid because I only compared myself to others. I kept drawing what I liked and found the direction I needed to move forward. Therefore, I definitely want to help those who don't know how to unravel the story they want to tell and the atmosphere they want to express! When someone comes across my illustration, let's draw a nice picture together so that they can blankly blend in with that atmosphere:)
