Adding and rearranging this and that in the background was really fun! Just changing the background changes the atmosphere so much!

Tree 13 will take you back in time with 80's style retro drawings.
It is good to be clumsy. The retro feel doesn't just come from the perfect picture.
Even if you end up with a clumsily-drawn picture, adding a taste of retro would make it look like a scene from a retro animation. It wouldn't be perfect, but I believe it will help you get a better picture. Each line you draw will come together to create a retro mood.
Fully and freely use all the elements of retro.
By the end of the class, you will be able to portray a number of retro items, including in the layout and composition. You can also acquire basic design skills that you can apply to modern times.
The retro style taught here is rare but has its unique charm that appeals to many. By actively applying basic designs and lettering, it can be packaged to appear like a part of an editorial print design.
In addition, although not at the level of polarization and full caricature, it is easy to learn by quickly assembling and coloring items through simple expressions.

Illustrator Tree 13
Hello, I'm Tree 13, a digital art illustrator.
I was greatly influenced by the entire domestic and overseas subcultures and the contents of the end of the last millennium, and draw illustrations that have the appeal and unique charm of contemporary retro drawing using quick and exotic expressions.
I didn’t really have a connection to retro. I was at the end of the analog drawing generation, and I wasn’t skilled enough to find it on my own and enjoy it.
The beauty of passing time. The traces of the past. The experimental spirit of the transition. As a result of searching many references to find the index of my art, I settled on the result of the regression of the present retro as a goal to reach the original artistry.
Indulge in everything Retro.
I developed my illustrations in a way that I learned from the past rather than the design and illustration of the current generation that has become uniform. The combination of the exaggerated reflected light of the '80s and the simple dotted line, the exploration of three-dimensional font design, and the composition and color unique to nostalgic cell animations. Indulging in all of that stimulated me to the present day.
Time-lapsed but sure! I want to truly portray the mood of a true retro.
- People who like the retro feel
- People who want to challenge a genre other than watercolor style illustration
- People who want to broaden their spectrum of colors
- In addition to the simple illustrations, people who want to learn shallow and wide retro design
