An introductory digital illustration course to learn the transparent expression of “painting”

“I can draw sketches, but when I paint colors, they become subtle.”

“I want to draw an illustration with a sense of transparency”

Have you ever thought so?

This one-point classThis class uses line drawing data to teach “coloring,” which is important in illustrations, in a making-of format.

Even if you are a first-time user of software or have little experience with digital illustration, you can complete an illustration full of transparency like the one pictured on the right by watching a video and painting while imitating the creator.

The trick to creating a soft atmosphere and sparkling sparkle is to put light and shadow on your side

There are various ways to do it, even if you say it in a nutshell to create a sense of transparency. You can apply highlights and gradations, and draw reflected light using the intensity of the shadows. In one picture that I think is “beautiful” and “cute,” it is packed with more detailed drawing and techniques than I imagined.

In this one-point class, we focus on “painting,” which affects the impression of illustrations, and aim to improve skills.

[Message from the creator]

I want you to draw your own pictures so much that they think are the most wonderful. I think that feeling makes drawing fun and the culture gets more and more exciting. However, painting is fun, so don't be too nervous and have fun learning together!
