worry about the charm and the direction
of their own drawing as they build experience
and approach practical work level.

But what they worry about the most is

Therefore, it is very important to point that out

Hyulla's Profile & Portfolio

Hyulla
Illustrator

Hello, I am Hyulla.
As a concept artist and illustrator,
I have participated in several projects,
including Destiny Child
and NIKKE: GODDESS OF VICTORY.
Currently, I'm working on Project Blood
as an executive director.

You will face worries as you make progress,
even if you love drawing. As you move on,
there are tons to learn and master,
including the skills to create unique
and trendy designs, direct, composite, etc.

I believe that an artist needs two things;
steady progress and affectionate interest.
An artist gains the strength to draw
out of the happiness that comes from progress.
And of course, steady progress
should be supported by
a deep understanding of basic knowledge.

In this course, I'd like to help you understand
the essentials of illustrating characters
by demonstrating the visual principles
and teaching you my ways of expressing
the details, which also helped me a lot
when creating my unique characters.

Interview
with Illustrator Hyulla

Question.01
What do you think is a good character design?

I believe the way to deliver something should clearly appear in the design. A character's job, personality, tendency, surroundings, and relationships should be seen through the character's color, body type, hairstyle, face, costumes, and specific objects. It will be a great help once you take note of the effects that are implied by certain visual information.

Question.02
What is most important when it comes to picture composition?

Building a line of sight through lines and planes, density and perspective is the most important. Line of sight tends to flow from above to below, and from left to right. If you build directionality using lines and planes, the line of sight will follow that direction. You can naturally guide the line of sight by appropriately placing high-density parts and low-density parts.

Question.03
What is the strength of this class that makes it different from others?

The fact that this class logically approaches the charm of a character through detailed analysis. If you learn about detail through understanding the fundamental structure that begins with physics, you will be able to depict the human body in any way that you want with much more depth. So, I will teach you about perspective and light with a basis on a more fundamental understanding of physics.
