Skills You’ll Learn
Online art course for drawing original characters with watercolors
The lessons progress step by step from face → bust up → whole body, so the curriculum content allows you to step up naturally without difficulty. It's not just about how to draw a line drawingHow to express trendy dull colors with watercolorsYaTips for blending colors beautifullyIt's tightly packed with points that you should definitely know when drawing illustrations.
“What should I do first?” Why I want people who think so to take the course
“I'd like to draw a work using watercolors, but I'm too beginner to know where to start drawing”
“I can't draw an original character”
We have created a class that I would like people who think so to try it out. Drawing characters with watercolors can be broadly divided into,Draw a line drawing (sketch) and colorThere are two steps required.
We will start with how to draw a line drawing, which is the basis of illustration, so that even beginners who have never drawn illustrations can enjoy it. What are the goals of Chapter 1Failing a lot.
It may come as a surprise to you, but if you make a lot of mistakes and practice, you will get a sense of it, so you will naturally be able to understand your favorite way of drawing.
Once you can draw a full sketch of your face → bust up → your whole body, the next step is coloring. What paints are included in the kit you will receiveAdopts those from Windsor & Newton, a purveyor to the British royal familyI did. It is characterized by good color development and vivid, and stretches smoothly.
Watercolor paint is a recommended art material for beginners because it is relatively easy to express fresh transparency and light colors. Please enjoy the overlapping colors unique to watercolors and the shades that can be expressed.
You can draw original characters that are attractive and neutral
When I draw men and women separately, I express them while being aware of differences in physique and skeleton, but in the illustrations I draw in this classThere is no gender. This is because I want people to see and feel the illustrations freely, regardless of gender. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's up to the viewer to decide how to capture that character.
Don't decide on the correct answer, discard the stereotype that “it has to be this way,” and face illustrations with fun and free ideas.
How to let your eyes flowYaHow to draw facial expressions based on the angle of the face,Body lines that look neutraletc,“If you hold this down, it's fine!” It's calledThe lecture focuses on points.Since you can learn the basic line drawing firmly, you will be able to draw illustrations that can be applied.
Don't just draw! Includes plenty of important hints for creating works
Have you ever run into trouble or a wall while drawing an illustration?
“I can't play well”
“I'm going to compare myself to others”
“I feel like I'm losing my confidence and I don't like drawing”
In order to be able to solve such worries and anxieties, I recorded the work from the point where the lecturer creates the work from scratch. Not only the technical side, but also the way of thinking that is important for creating works, tips for maintaining motivation, and ways to incorporate characters of one's own choice into the work that one wants to express is completely disclosed.
A number of secrets that can only be learned here, and important points in creating worksPlease check it out.
Message from the lecturer
Anyway, I made it while thinking that the content would be shallow and broad from a basic point of view, and that could be applied effectively. I can also show you places where works are made from scratch, so I hope I can relieve vague anxieties such as “I don't know what to do first...”
Both illustrations and watercolors are easy for beginners to touch, so let's work hard together to complete the work while thinking about what our “likes” are!

We are doing exhibition activities mainly in Kansai. It depicts a form that I thought I “loved” regardless of gender.
●Activities
2019 Seto Subaru × Ando Kotoshi Solo Exhibition “Expression in Opposition”
2021 Painter Gallery Online Solo Exhibition “A Sense of Distance with You”
I have been actively exhibiting since I was in school. Watercolor is mostly self-taught.
Currently, as an illustration artist, I am doing exhibition activities mainly in Kansai, and creating works on individual requests.
Anyway, I made this class while thinking that the content would be shallow and broad from a basic point of view, and that the application would be effective. I can also show you places where works are made from scratch, so the content can relieve vague anxieties such as “I don't know what to do first...”
I would be happy if you could feel the appeal of watercolor illustrations while drawing illustrations in this class.Let's have fun creating works together!
