About the Instructor
Illustrator, Kirabunni
Hello! I’m Kira, a freelance illustrator based in Australia. I’ve been drawing since I was very young, and I love creating colorful and eye-catching illustrations! I often go to conventions to promote and sell my artworks as well.
Illustration has been s a great medium to get any thought or emotion across. It is very expressive and satisfying when it’s done! For me, drawing is everything. That is why I want to help anyone and everyone I can so that they can discover their love and potential in illustration. I hope sharing my tips and experience will open new doors for you to the world of illustration.
Q: How did you first start doing what you do?
Growing up, I really loved watching animation and playing games, and my childhood dream was to be an artist. I started drawing when I was very young, and soon, those two things merged and played a big part in my life! I started doing fan art and original work as a freelancer (and also as an animation student), and started promoting and selling my works at conventions in Australia and around the world. It is a blessing for me to be able to do what I love the most as a job, and I am hoping that you would also be able to do what you love the most.
