Hi, I’m Nunu!

I’ve started off drawing illustrations as a hobby on and off for over ten years when I am motivated by my favorite manga media. My love for drawing grew so much that I changed my major from medicine to an art program in college to make my life about my passion. Not only until my art gained exposure did I realize that my art style is something some people may find unique and mysterious. So what better way to walk through my process than to teach an entire course about it?
