A freelance illustrator with ten years of experience, author, and illustrator. Hi! My name is Zipcy :)
In 2019, I made a "Learn How to Create Captivating Portraits with Zipcy" class and receive a lot of love! Thanks to your support, I'm having an iPad class with more upgraded portrait drawings, the colored know-how, and post-correction tips! In 2019, I traveled around the world for a year, and the iPad able me to work on portraits of people I've met on the roads, movies, films, dramas, and a variety of publishers while traveling! Even further, I could do work on freelancing on the road! My portraits now have more voluminous and can be more fun to paint with the iPad.
I want to share a valuable and variety of know-how with you throughout the class.
