With over 13 years of experience, Soraizumi has worked on numerous still illustrations across diverse themes, primarily for beautiful-girl smartphone games. Now, for the first time, they are sharing their expertise in creating captivating fantasy artwork.

In this course, you will explore the process of still illustration creation with the theme “Sky Castle Reflecting the Sky,” focusing on the perfect harmony between characters and backgrounds.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Foundations of Creating Impactful Artwork
   First, we’ll explore the mindset and approach needed to craft the ideal image. You’ll learn how to conceptualize compositions and bring your fantasies to life, ensuring every illustration leaves a lasting impression.
2. Techniques for Character and Background Synergy
   You’ll discover production techniques to increase the affinity between the character and the environment, creating synergistic effects. This includes mastering perth making (perspective techniques) that enhance posture and alignment. You’ll also learn how to use both the grisaille technique and thick painting styles to color motifs effectively.
3. Developing Characters and Environments in Harmony
   We’ll dive into “5W1H”—the life, behavior, and personality details of your characters—along with how to design clothing and depict natural elements and artifacts. You’ll gain the skills to create a single, cohesive image with a high degree of polish and detail.

Course Highlights:

1. Deepening the Relationship Between Characters and Worldbuilding

“5W1H” (Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How) helps bring narrative depth to your art. We’ll also explore how selectively omitting certain elements can leave room for imagination, adding intrigue and movement to your illustrations. This course will teach you how to carefully choose and integrate details that convey relationships between characters and their environments, including how to reflect time and progression.

2. Line-of-Sight Guidance and Information Balance

Master composition techniques such as Fibonacci curves, the rule of thirds, aerial perspective, and height differentiation to guide the viewer’s gaze and create a sense of depth and flow. You’ll also learn how to balance silhouettes and colors for maximum visual harmony.

3. Building a Fantasy World and Improving Your Artistic Skills

To design immersive fantasy worlds, it’s essential to draw natural motifs such as plants, water, and stones, as well as architectural elements and characters. You’ll learn to convey culture and environment through details. This course covers how to incorporate real-world references, design effective layouts, and create unique visual styles—helping you develop comprehensive expressiveness in your art.
