About the Instructor
Illustrator, Artemus
Hi there! I'm Artemus, and drawing characters has always been my passion. I liked to make my own stories and worlds ever since I was a little kid. Now, after taking classes in figure drawing, portfolio illustration, and character design, I feel more equipped to draw the original characters and the world around them.
Through my online platform, I've been able to share the characters I have created. It's always inspiring to see my SNS account growing fast, but moreover, to find that people are interested in learning about my characters and their world.
It is such a fantastic feeling to see people love and support my creations, just like they would enjoy characters from books or video games. I'm here to help you feel the same!
Q: How did you first start doing what you do?
I first started designing my original characters in elementary school and even put together my own illustrated novel that I published. It was a small project, but I had many of my friends excited to see the next episode. We all had an amazing time figuring out how to develop characters and place them within a unique world. I've held that passion ever since, and when I got more into digital drawing, the character art that I do now was just the next natural step.
