Draw dreamy fantasy artwork
When you’ve had a long day, escape to your own fantasy world. You can create scenes from your dreams in the chibi (anime/manga) style. Princes, princesses, talking teacups, mermaids, horses with wings! Anything you can imagine, you’ll learn how to draw.
If your life lacks imagination, take a break and come learn with me!
Drawing with Photoshop
Photoshop
I will introduce some Photoshop tools and brushes to help you improve all your illustrations. You will walk away knowing how to create dreamlike scenes that look as though they’re melting; an effect that can only be created with Photoshop.
dreamlike scenes
I’ll guide you through everything I know about Photoshop, including my tips and shortcuts! Learn about setting up your workspace, useful shortcuts and commonly used tools, as well as my personal fantasy brush sets. I want to share all my secret techniques I use to create these fantasy masterpieces with you.
Drawing in the “Deforme” or “Chibi” style
“Chibi”
To start, first let’s make a sketch! “Deforme” is a sketching technique where transformations, reductions, and distortions are used to exaggerate and make your characters dreamlike. I will show you step by step how to draw soft, beautiful forms, which will make your characters look like they are straight out of an anime.
Drawing Objects
Other than characters, I will teach you to draw the objects that make up a detailed fantasy illustration. We’ll slice objects into smaller sections to better analyze them and make them easier to draw. Then we’ll go over how to paint objects faster to save time.
Soft and dreamy coloring
Learn my method of using soft hues to create a living and dreamy atmosphere. Just because you want to paint a soft texture doesn’t mean you should ignore volume or contrast! Let’s take a closer look at simple light theory and how to apply it to your illustrations through the activity of drawing your own daytime and nighttime illustrations.
e will also cover how to add other colors in the process of creating atmosphere. The goal is to make the existing colors in your illustration much more colorful and rich! Learn how to create the soft but defined textures of my illustrations.
Bring your pictures to life with light and color
A sunny day with sunshine, a night with stars, and a dark, cloudy sky. Learn how to handle light and apply it to your pictures based on the weather and the situation of your illustration. In addition to natural lights, you can create your own special light to create a dreamy atmosphere in your artwork.
Complete an illustration with your own story
At first, making a story can be difficult.
But don’t worry! The thunder clouds seen on your way to work, the rain that comes down the window in spring and the cries of frogs in the forest, the night sea and fireworks that you saw when you were young, and the candle you lit during nights you couldn’t sleep. Everything in life can become the subject of a painting. Join me and practice finding inspiration from your everyday life.
It’s time to turn your illustrations into your own story! Apply everything you’ve learned into an original illustration of your own.

Class101 – A World Created From Your Imagination – Digital Drawing by Pinn
A world created from your imagination
Hello, I’m Pinn, an illustrator that draws warmth in the cold, depicting places that aren’t in front of your eyes, but are alive in your imagination.
With people who love painting
When I first started painting, I was a coward.
I was scared of what to do if the lines were not properly drawn, what to do if I painted in the wrong color, what to do if it turns out strange, etc.
However, as I learned from the basics step by step, I changed the parts I was afraid of into parts that are easy and fun to draw, and after a lot of trial and error, drawing became fun and I’m not afraid anymore.
So no one is lost anymore
I think there are a lot of people who think about the same things that I did while drawing. In this class, I would like to take the time to help you overcome your fears and share the tips I learned to draw a great illustration.
What are some of the things you like?
Before I create, I have a lot of worries about what to draw. The longer you worry, the more vague your picture feels and the narrower your scope of thought becomes, making it more and more difficult to draw.
Clear up your blurry imagination
The first thing you need to think about when you have these concerns is, “What are some of my favorite things?” I think that painting is a great way to create a new world by adding your imagination and colors to ideas that you like, landscapes, situations, etc. Whatever you like best, I will do my best to help you express with confidence and without hesitation 🙂
Drawing a background that enriches the picture
Just by drawing a background that matches the character’s features and situation, your illustration becomes much richer. When working with the background, you can compose a more interesting and magnificent screen by working with dots, lines, and texture elements.
A background using nature is drawn by setting the time to match the situation. Take a look around what natural materials are available and set a time zone to depict different atmospheres. Learn how to express different times of the same place, and learn how to complete an illustration using various layer correction methods that harmonize characters and backgrounds.
I will teach you to create objects and materials, themes and concepts filled with your taste and personality when drawing, and arrange characters and objects to create an illustration with the atmosphere and feel you want. Through this process, you can draw a detailed picture with a story.
The goal of the class is to complete an illustration with a textured background to bring the image you planned to life, the way you imagined it. I would like all of my students to feel the joy of completing a rich and full illustration by putting together various lines, shapes, and points and line elements.
