A half-rimless illustration class that makes use of the delicate description and atmosphere by EBKIM EB+ (Korean, Eng sub)

Hello! My name is EB10 (V+), and I’m a freelance illustrator specializing in drawing beautiful girls. I have been active on social media and also involved in the gaming industry. Recently, I developed an interest in sharing my illustration expertise, specifically in relation to cars. That’s why I’m here on Class 101! I have put a lot of thought into how I can effectively transmit my know-how and knowledge to all of you, so you can definitely look forward to it. 🙂

I primarily work with Photoshop, employing a semi-frameless style in my illustrations. Unlike delicate and precise drawing styles, my personality doesn’t align with such approaches. That’s why I’ve gravitated towards the anti-frameless method, which allows for immediate and intuitive adjustments. For individuals who struggle with the pressure of drawing flawlessly or find it challenging to initiate the painting process, I highly recommend using the method I employ. It enables you to create highly polished illustrations with relative ease.

Theory-based drawing is fundamental before diving into serious artwork. When it comes to painting, you’ll gain a grasp of essential concepts like human body proportions, skeletal structures, and basic graphing techniques. Throughout the comprehensive lessons in this class, I’ll guide you through every aspect, from understanding the skeletal framework to capturing the intricate details like clothing wrinkles. I’ll address any specific challenges you may be facing and provide helpful insights. Once you’ve completed the class, I encourage you to apply your newfound knowledge by creating a fully realized character. Don’t hesitate to put your skills into practice!

Are you struggling to bring charm to your characters? Creating visually captivating main characters is crucial in illustrations. In this class, we will devote time to designing characters that are both appealing and vibrant. We will explore various aspects, from selecting character themes that are rich in flavor to offering tips on costume design and color coordination. Additionally, I will share techniques for crafting attractive poses that align with the characters’ personalities. By the end of the class, you will have a range of tools and knowledge to make your characters truly captivating.

Won’t you find it difficult to look away? Light has a captivating effect.

When you observe an illustration, the first thing that catches your attention is often the “atmosphere” portrayed in the image, isn’t it? As an artist, I make sure to convey the mood through the lighting in my artwork. In other words, I place great emphasis on the “light” itself. Starting with the basics of light theory, I will demonstrate how to create stunning light colors and contrasts. It’s worth noting that the character’s colors can even change depending on the background’s mood! We will explore techniques for harmonizing the character’s color palette with the overall composition. Prepare to discover the art of effectively utilizing light to enhance the visual impact of your illustrations.

Achieving a seamless blend between characters and their backgrounds is essential for creating a sense of completeness in an illustration. I will guide you through the process of delicately depicting both characters and backgrounds, ensuring they harmonize effectively. We will cover everything from fundamental techniques like perspective, composition, and the direction of the background to advanced topics such as incorporating effects and utilizing various features in Photoshop to enhance the beauty of your illustrations. Just follow along, and you’ll be able to bring forth delicate and exquisite characters that perfectly complement their backgrounds.

In this class, you will embark on a step-by-step journey through my working process, with the ultimate goal of creating your own completed illustration. To facilitate your learning experience, a PSD file will be provided, allowing you to review and practice the techniques repeatedly.

I will be available to assist those who encounter challenges along the way, ensuring that everyone can successfully bring their own artwork to life. My aim is to share the sheer joy of creating illustrations, which stems from the knowledge and skills gained in this class. Let’s embark on this creative adventure together!
