Overcome Your Fear & Let Your Creativity Flourish
Have you ever heard about blank canvas syndrome?

A lot of people fear art when it comes to creating it. I myself also struggled so much that I hesitated to pick up a pencil to start drawing due to the pressure of creativity. I felt a bit lost as I did not know my direction and lacked identity.

Due to the lack of confidence of creating a new work, I started to draw fan arts of the characters from my favorite movies, games, animations, etc.

Then one day, I had doubts for myself and questioned, “Is this the right way to become a professional artist?” “How can I improve to become a concept artist?”

However, it wasn’t long before that I realized all my past fan arts have become a solid foundation of my drawing career. All those art pieces have helped me to become who I am now.

Design is All Around Us
After all those years of drawing, now I have realized that creating a character design is rather simple. No one creates a character design from scratch, but from inspiration. Video content, animation, illustrations, games, and photographs, or even objects and people around you, can become your inspiration.

Do you ever find yourself not knowing what to draw? I am pretty sure that majority of you have experienced where your brain froze because you cannot figure out where to start.
In the art industry, there are wide variety of styles of art. Therefore, it is very important to develop your own artistic style that stands out compare to others. In this class, I will guide you to master different art techniques and finally find your own unique style of art.
