Hi everyone, I'm Chikenryice or Chiken for short.
I'm a freelance illustrator from Singapore, which is where the dish
chicken rice is from! But I currently live in Scotland for Uni.
First of all, I like to say that I'm super grateful and so excited to prepare this class for you.
It has always been a dream of mine to hold an art class,
and now that I have this chance to,
I can't wait to put everything I know into these lessons.
Now, a bit about me .When I started doing character art,
a large inspiration for me was splash art
from games like League of Legends and Vainglory.
I've always liked the painted style that gave that sort 3D look.
But at the same time, I loved and still love anime.
Which is why I landed on my style today!
With sort of anime proportions but with looser
and painted brushwork, without the lineart process.

I've been drawing for a long, long time now.
It's been over ten years since I got my first tablet,
but for most of my years drawing,
I never felt like I was any good, despite so many years of experience.
I would always feel myself maybe improving two steps
forward, but then sometimes take one step back.
And that was because only until about two years ago
I never really made deliberate steps to improve
and learn the fundamentals,
and all I did was just draw a lot.
Of course, with practice comes improvement, but
without the conscious effort and guidance in
the right direction, it can be quite hard to improve in a sustainable manner.
And that's why in this course I hope to be that guide
for you and help you improve in an effective
and structured manner that can be sustained beyond this course.
The feelings of being stuck and not knowing
what I need to do to take my art to the next level
are still really fresh in my mind, so I have
many tips to give you if you are still at that stage.
For your first mission, please share a
piece of art that you made and introduce yourself.
I'd love to get to know you too!
If you like, you can comment on a fellow classmates
art and tell them what you like about their style.
In the next lesson, I'll be giving you a brief
overview about this class and how I'll be teaching it.
It is my pleasure to be an instructor and I'm so excited
to see what you guys come up with, and to guide you
through your art journey!
