About the Instructor

Illustrator, Fortisselle
Hello!

My name is Kali, and I started digital illustrating in 2014. I am currently a freelance illustrator and a student studying animation. I officially began my career as an artist online. Aside from taking commissions from people around the world, I sell my pieces online and conventions to reach a wider audience and promote my work.

Juggling between my schoolwork and my freelance work taught me the two topmost essential skills for freelance artists: time management and the ability to keep my focus. I am currently working hard to establish myself as an artist, and it is with great pleasure that I can share my tips and experience with you, who share the same passion for art as myself.

Q: How did you first start doing what you do?
My art started as doodling on my cheap sketchpad. I didn't have any background knowledge to be even close to becoming an artist. It was initially just a fun hobby until I decided to sit myself down and focus on improving my skills. Though drawing was just a hobby, my passion for art increased every other day, and I eventually wanted to be successful in this field. That was when art transformed from a hobby into my deepest passion. Ever since then, I have developed my original style that is still changing and evolving.
