Hey everyone! I am Kyou, a self thaught professional Illustrator based in Germany with polish roots.

In 2012 I started my journey on Deviantart as well as pursuing a degree in graphics design. I was fascinated with a lot of artists there, aspiring to be as good as them one day.

Working on various projects to design characters (exp. Tiny Wars), my own Artbook, and various projects to join as an artist. Colors always have been a very important part of my life, through them I could express my feelings, which I had a hard time finding the right words for.

It was a long journey, lots of experimenting, failing, getting up again until I was really satisfied with my work. This is why I am very passionate to provide you with a very good and well-thought course, to be a help for you. Let's achieve our goals together!
