From starting with Between stickers to being refined into a single brand, I released stickers one by one every month, created character goods through guide production, and experienced everything I could try out with characters, such as licensing agreements and pop-up stores. Based on my experience, I didn't end up with a single hit Merry Between, but created a series of characters that work on KakaoTalk Character creation secretsI'll let you know.




Profits are accumulating

Create an IP (Intellectual Property) character.

What is a well-made emoji seriesIt is advantageous to launch one after another. If the first release is successful, sales of stickers made in the past will also increase significantly when the second release comes out. A virtuous cycle of profit structureYou can create.

In this class, I'm going to show you how to design cute characters that have been consistently loved for a long time without stopping at a single hit, and connect them with emojis that live and breathe in people's conversations.


I like cute things.
Cuteness doesn't attack anyone
It's also free from various political issues.





You'll learn something like this:)


character design

Even if you can't draw a picture, you can create a character if you only have an idea and concept. Start by designing an emoji character with a pencil drawing that anyone can easily access and a guide file containing my know-how:) I'll show you how my cute graffiti becomes a character.



We provide a guide for anyone to follow.

I'll provide you with a guide that refines the know-how I've built up over the years. We have prepared it so that anyone can easily follow along. Even if you're afraid of painting or professional design tools, I'll help you easily adapt to the class. (Basic Guide/ Facial Expression Guide/ Trend Guide)


Find the tool that's right for you:)

Did you know that painting styles vary depending on which tool you choose? In my lecture iPad (Procreate) Method and Computer (illustrator+photoshop) We'll teach you both ways to draw. Find a tool that fits your favorite painting style and try it out! I also recommend it to those who want to learn all the different digital tools.


Find the drawing method that works for you:)

Let's take inspiration from those around us and try to personalize it.

You can become a character even if you start doodling without thinking!







The moment I fell in love with a character I created while working
Experience an incredible sense of immersion.







The most productive hobby you can do alone!

I draw pictures while watching dramas, and I always draw when I have nothing to do. As you immerse yourself in the twisting process of these cute kids, you'll naturally find yourself continuing to be passionate about the characters.



Created the No. 1 IP in all

We share the artist's know-how with an approval rate of 85%.

I first entered Kakao Emoji 3 years ago, proposed 27 emojis, and 23 were approved. I'll tell you how to get approved emoticons with an 85% approval rate.

This is a list of emoticons proposed by the character and artist Naname (Naname) by a normal person directed by the company.








We have created a number of fast-track emoji products.

Fast Track randomly selects products that are judged to have good marketability or have good sales data from the previous series, and helps with sales volume through Kakao's internal marketing even after a quick launch. I will tell you the know-how to create multiple hits with various characters, not just one masterpiece:)

This is a list of emoticons created by the series and freelance writer Naname (Naname), who is directed by the company.


On the Kakao emoji that it is difficult to get approval Multiple approvals Not only that, but every time the 2nd and 3rd bullets Launch products as a seriesand even Reverse offer as a fast-track productI also received it. If you take a fast-track release schedule, which usually takes 6-8 months, you can cut it down to 2-3 months or less, and it is advantageous to launch continuously quickly as a series.






Characters raised with love

Go out into the world and share the experience of being loved by many people.

It is said that the greatest human joy is the joy of creation. Experience the moment when you create a character with your own hands, make it come to life, and fall in love with the character that was born that way.

Today's emoji characters permeate our everyday lives by conveying people's emotions in online conversations. If people feel rewarded in the moment they fall in love with my character beyond buying my emoticons, they'll love this job even more.

It is a class that can accommodate everyone from beginners to intermediate students, conveying know-how gained through long years of trouble and experience. The speed may vary from person to person, but I hope this class will help those who dream of being a character emoji artist:)



Experience your character coming to life in the world.
