Creator Interviews

Q. Please tell us about your experience and achievements so far.

A.Born in Miyagi. I plan to graduate from Tohoku University Faculty of Agriculture in March 2022, and after graduation I will work as a freelancer. When I posted my illustrations on SNS, I decided to work as a manga artist due to a relationship. Currently, “Black Sheep” is being serialized in the monthly comic gene (KADOKAWA).


Q. How did you start creating illustrations?

A.I've been drawing since I was little, but I started drawing a lot of digital illustrations after I was bought an iPad when I was in my first year of college.


Q. Why did you offer online classes with CLASS101?

A.This is because when I thought about what I could teach, I thought I could show them how to make creative characters that move the story, and how to draw my own illustrations, including those, which are similar to comics, as one method. Also, if 3D materials can really be used to grasp space, it will be easier to draw illustrations and comics, so I would like to tell you how to do that.


Q. What points did you put the most effort into when planning the class? Who would you recommend this class to?

A. I want to create a class that focuses not only on pure illustration skills, but also on creating characters. I would be happy if you could participate if you are interested in illustration production but are a beginner and don't know where to start, or those who like to draw pictures but aren't good at creating or drawing original characters.


Q. What kind of experience do you want the students to have through this class?

A.I want you to know the fun of creating your own character and the fun of drawing that character into a picture!
