Hello, we are lakeandmonster.

We are two different people drawing under the nickname "lakeandmonster".

We currently run the Instagram account @lakeandmonster, and mainly draw semi-realistic character illustrations. Our class is for those who want to draw but don't know where to start, and those who want to take the quality of their drawing to the next level. This class is packed with explanations about the drawing process, from the very first step of drawing a character to perfecting its quality.

To Help You Draw and Develop Your Drawings on Your Own

We always receive a lot of questions about drawing. However, it was often difficult to give an answer since drawing is not something that can be easily explained in text. On the online class, I can show and explain the process of drawing, so it will definitely be a great help in learning how to draw.

We have organized this course so that even beginners can see that drawing is not as difficult as it seems, and also ensure that experienced artists can take a step forward to perfecting their drawing.

A Hands-on Class Where You Can Draw Together with the Creator

I bet most of you have the experience of listening to a good lecture, understanding it in your head, but failing to draw it on your own.

Your drawing skills cannot improve unless you try it on your own.

Were you ever overwhelmed confronting a piece of white paper all by yourself? If the process of drawing feels difficult and overwhelming, it might be hard to start drawing at all. If you tire out after your first try, you might also put off your next try.

So in our class, we're going to go through the process step by step, starting from a blank paper and completing the piece together. If you go through the drawing process together, beginners will be able to gain confidence that they can draw on their own, and those who are good at drawing will be able to master our tips very naturally.

You won't get better in drawing only by reading, watching, and listening to a bunch of knowledge. Your drawing will truly improve only when you gain the experience of actually drawing something.

We'll show you how to take your drawing to the next level without having to practice complicated and difficult exercises.
