Instructor Details

Pluvias

Hello all! I'm Pluvias, a self-taught anime artist.

I've been drawing since I could first hold a pencil, but I started taking it seriously in 2009, which was the year I started doing digital art with a drawing tablet, and since then I've kept striving to improve my level. I also draw every now and then on paper using Copic Markers.
If you like my content and want more, you can watch free tutorials on my YouTube channel, in addition to lots of drawing process videos and useful information for anime artists.

You can also read my webtoon series called "Entwined" which I recently launched on Webtoon Canvas!

This looked like it was going to be more interactive and difficult, I knew most of the base stuff so i was a bit dissapointed but the hairstlyes and clothes were fun!

By Tasha Gregory on 8/24/2021

The course was a little fast paced for me and I feel like some things weren't explained thoroughly. I did improve on faces, which was great.

By Aneesah Ajam on 2/21/2021

I've learned a lot from this, I've tested some of the methods I learned and it looks great. One thing I struggle with most times is drawing hands (normally hehe) and drawing braids. Plus I am defiantly going to draw guys more. I really enjoyed this course! Thank you for all the helpful information.

Well,since I wasn't a complete beginner before taking this course,I had some troubles in following up certain things which I tend to do differently than the teacher was doing. Also,at times when the teacher is fast-forwarding the whole drawing process,it was actually a little bit troublesome,especially because when pausing the video,the paused icon shows exactly at the center of the screen & hence the sketch that is being made at that point can't be seen while the video is paused. However,by the end I realised I had learnt quite the tips & tricks which I kept mistaking before,hence it was totally worth the money,time & effort. Thank you very much,I look forward to applying whatever I learnt from here.

It is a great course because it is straight to the point in short non padded lessons while also having enough time to go over everything you need to know about the subject.

By Brennan Shockley on 11/7/2020

This was just what I was looking for. Easy to follow and helped with things a I was struggling with.

love your course thx

By Lakshita D V on 11/1/2020

The course is great, I can understand the main things we have to take care of while drawing. The curse also teaches us the difference between the drawing of a guy and a girl, you can spot the differences easily. My drawing has improved a lot too.
