All you need is a smartphone! Digital illustration that's easy to get started
If you only have a smartphone and a digital pen that you can buy at 100 yen stores, you can make graffiti on paper into cute digital illustrations! In this class, I will teach you how to draw illustrations using a free smartphone app.
First, choose your favorite character and practice drawing line drawings and digital illustrations
Choose your favorite child from the 4 characters, start by practicing drawing a line drawing, and then turn that line drawing into a digital illustration. We'll start by imitating, so even beginners can take the course without worry.
Give the original characters you've created a view of the world
Once you've practiced the basics, you can freely decide what kind of personality you want your partner character to have, such as adding color to your partner's character, changing their faces a little bit, and so on.
Move the characters, add backgrounds, and complete the four-frame comic!
We will practice imposing movements on the characters that have been born. I will also teach you how to draw small objects that are often used in the background.
Let's give life to only one original character in the world and complete a four-frame comic!

[Introduction of necessary apps and tools]
1. Smartphone or tablet
We recommend iPhones and iPads. In the case of Android, the operation method of the app changes slightly. The different parts of the operation are summarized separately in the comments section.
2. App MediBang Paint
There is a fee for some features, but you can fully use them for free. Please make sure that the app is available on your smartphone or tablet before taking the class.
3. Touch pen
I like the one with a transparent plate on the tip of the pen that is easy to see, or the thin type one! In the case of a fluffy sponge nib, the tip of the pen is hard to see and draw.
4. Plain notebook or paper
5. Ballpoint pen
