Focus on human illustrations. Start by practicing drawing basic proportions of the human body and faces
This illustration course specializes in character illustrations, and is designed so that you can carefully learn the points that creators place particular importance on, such as “face,” “coloring/color scheme,” and “ratio/composition.”
The curriculum starts with lectures on the basic balance of the human body and how to draw, by actually learning it through croquis.
Next, in order to be able to draw unique and attractive faces, we will practice how to think about and draw “faces.”
There are various patterns in the world, and it is not easy to find a way to draw your own “face.” Use this class to develop your own unique way of drawing attractive faces and use it as your weapon.
Know and learn about colors and color schemes so that you can freely use your favorite colors

Continuing in this course, I will start by visualizing what kind of colors and color schemes you like, and tell you about the compatibility of colors and how to guide your gaze with colors.
In addition to theory, you will also acquire coloring know-how while feeling the effects by actually placing different colors on human illustrations.
Even if you have a nice illustration in the state of croquis or line drawing, if you can't properly color it, it will be far from an illustration image that you are satisfied with.
Let's find a variety of colors and learn the colors that match your paintings.

After inputting the proportions and way of thinking about composition necessary to draw a picture with a high degree of perfection, I draw a picture one by one in order starting from the rough one.
Decide on a rough color, draw a line drawing, apply colors, add shadows, adjust the balance, and complete a convincing image while making adjustments and corrections. If you thoroughly experience and absorb this series of flows here, even after finishing this course, you should be able to reconstruct it in your own way and use it as food for creating works.

＜Message＞To all participants from Fujimaru 2002, the creator of this class
Nice to meet you, my name is Fujimaru 2002. Thank you for your interest in the class.
In this class, IResearch results and information that enabled me to work as an illustrator after continuing to learn on my own for 3 years from a beginnerI would like to fill it in without sparing anything, narrow down the points, and tell them in an easy-to-understand manner as possible.
The curriculum is based on understanding one's own “likes” and being able to learn the basics on top of that, and above all, we proceed by placing emphasis on color schemes, composition laws, and proportions necessary for characters.
It's not a complicated theory or technical jargon, and we will proceed carefully step by step from the beginning, so I think even beginners will enjoy it.
There are many illustrators who are good at absorbing information flying around the internet, but it is also true that because so much information is overflowing, they don't know where to watch. It can also be said that it is a disadvantage.
“I don't know what to draw”
I also suffered from it, and there are many people around me who have suffered as well.
I hope this class can help people who are suffering and struggling like my past self.

Creator Interviews
Q. What kind of activities do you usually do? Please introduce yourself briefly.
A.I mainly create illustrations centered on characters. I like illustrations that pack a middle ground between something, such as a girl who doesn't seem like a real girl, an unlikely outfit or hairstyle, etc., and I'm aiming for that. I am researching every day to create illustrations that are the same as painting and line drawing, and have a three-dimensional effect but are also deformed.
Q. Please tell us about your experience and achievements so far.
A.I started drawing in my second year of high school (2019), and in 2020Raytrektab won the Irakon Grand Prize. Graduated from high school and now a university student and freelance illustratorI am working as, and I live while working hard to balance the illustration production requests I receive with my studies.
Q. How did you start creating illustrations?
A. When I was in my second year of high school, I quit my club activities and had too much free time, and I happened to meet an illustrator I admired on Twitter, and I started drawing pictures from there. Since then, we have continued our research and setbacks until now. I learned about the fun of painting around this time.
Q. Why did you offer online classes with CLASS101?
A. I haven't been a person who has been drawing since I was a kid, so being at a lower level than people of my age was very difficult at first, and I had problems typical of the SNS community today. There was also a time when I wasn't drawing because of my own unwillingness. However, thanks to entering such a hiatus period, I looked back at myself again, did my research, and it is up to now. I learned that there are many people who have similar problems, so I decided to start the course in the hope that it will help those who are struggling right now. Also, as I run the class, I myself wanted to get inspiration from the students, which is one of the reasons for starting the course.
Q. What points did you put the most effort into when planning the class? Who would you recommend this class to?
A. I put effort into being able to focus on “input” and “output,” where I know and understand what I'm thinking now and how to make it happen on the canvas. People who are worried or stuck on something often don't intend to understand, so I focus on that.
I think it's recommended for those who are worried about painting in some way, such as those who are stuck or don't know how to draw in the future.
Q. What kind of experience do you want the students to have through this class?
A. I want people to know my “likes.” In order to improve, knowing your preferences is the best way to improve. If you don't like your work, there's no way other people will like it. I'm thinking about my lessons with that in mind, so I want the students to clearly have their own “likes” and experience a state of “understanding” after the class is over. I hope that those who develop more and more into work from there will apply it, and that the fun of drawing their own pictures will be used as food for the future.
Q. Please give a message to the students!
A.I hope that through this class, you will be able to improve your illustration skills, reaffirm your “likes” and what you are thinking, and enjoy drawing pictures. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
