Capturing peaceful moments on paper

I am Lee Hyun-hee, an illustrator who draws on the theme of the small happiness I feel in everyday life. If you sleep until the afternoon of the weekend, sit in a cafe, listen to music and read books. Fill the blank paper with warm colors by using gouache and colored pencils. It’s okay if you’re not familiar with these tools yet. That’s what I’m here for!

Express your daily life in illustrations

Create an illustration depicting a character that resembles you and your favorite cafe. Recreate scenes that make you feel warm when you even just imagine them. I like simple drawings, not realistic ones. I prefer a painting that preserves the key points and reduces unnecessary details. If you record your daily life with gouache and colored pencils, the memories that are otherwise fleeting will be contained in an illustration that you can keep with you for the rest of your life.

Hand-made wedding invitations

I often see people using what they’ve learned in my studio classes to make hand drawn wedding invitations with their own drawings. Let your pictures contain the most special and precious moments of your life.

In this class, we will cover everything from the characteristics of gouache to how to observe and express objects. Each lesson will be thorough from the basics so that even those who are new to paintings can fully understand and follow along.

Class Overview

There are 8 chapters in total, and we will make 10 works of art. It takes about 1 to 3 hours to make one piece. You will have 32 weeks to study so that you can learn gradually and enjoy the process. The time required to finish all the lessons will vary depending on the speed of your progress.

Here’s what you’ll learn

Understanding the tools and using color

Gouache is a really versatile tool, but it is also a cumbersome ingredient that needs to be squeezed onto a pallet every time it is used. Also, in order to make your desired color, you may need to adjust 3 ~ 4 colors. However, unlike the watercolor paint used for drying, it has the advantage of being easy to modify because it can be layered without bleeding the color underneath.

Also, because it is opaque, it gives a more vivid feeling. We will try to understand the characteristics of gouache and practice making the colors you want by coloring them yourself!

Simplifying your drawings

You will learn how to express various types of props and buildings simply. Omit the parts that aren’t needed, and catch and express only the parts that give the overall feeling or point!

Drawing characters easily

Many people find it difficult to draw human bodies. So, I will tell you how to draw a character simply through my own personal formula and proportions. It is not a class where you can learn to draw realistic characters, but a simple character, so you can draw easily.

In essence

This is a beginner-level illustration class using gouache and colored pencils. I want you to feel the joy of creating the colors you want and filling your white paper bit by bit. I'll let you learn more about props, backgrounds, buildings, and characters so that you can create interior drawings, anniversary gifts, and wedding invitation illustrations!

Create memory-filled illustrations.
