Drawing Lessons from The Guardian featured foreign artist

From 19.16 £ /h

I was born in 1990 and pursued my Bachelor in Fine Arts, specializing in painting and got my Masters in Art Education. As a visual artist, I am passionate about helping students who aspire to enter Art and Design departments and enhance their artistic abilities. In my courses, I cover a wide range of subjects including anatomy, composition, ratio-proportion, still life, light-dark, space, tonal perception, figure drawing and imaginary composition.

Recently, I received an offer for a PhD program at the University of Glasgow in Image and Text Studies, where I will be focusing my research on wordless graphic narratives. I am eager to explore this unique form of storytelling and contribute to the academic field.

In 2021, I published my debut illustrated book in London, UK. I am also glad to have been featured in The Guardian, where my illustrations gained recognition in 2023.

Currently, I reside in Seoul where I continue to pursue my artistic endeavors and would like to help others to improve their drawing skills!

Best Wishes!
