More About MeAbout me
I’m 33 years old, born and raised in Israel! I studied animation in Minshar school of art and I specialized in traditional and digital art, character deign and direction. I’m all about self-improvement and aiming high, worst-case scenario, you’ll fall on a cloud. What else can I say? I appreciate a good coffee and a cinnamon roll, I love comedy, music and sports and I want to travel all around the world 😊 Hopefully to Japan next! 🚀
How I got here
I’ve been drawing ever since I was a little kid, usually on the tables at school when the teacher was too boring, or as a way of healing. I started taking things more seriously at my 20’s and studied animation for 4 years, brining my love of drawing to a professional level, I created new characters, scripts, art concepts and even made my own award-winning animation film. During the same time, I created an art channel that grew each year and now has more than 900K awesome subscribers, over 150M views and for almost a decade I’ve been teaching my followers how to draw your favourite anime characters.✍
Why I do it
I love drawing and I love teaching; I have a way of really break things down to details and explaining them in a fun and easy to understand way. I love the feedback from my students, who tell me they’ve improved because of me, that I give them inspiration, I never take it for granted and it really is the best feeling, knowing you made an impact on somebody.
My love for drawing is connected with my desire to be the best at what I do. I love working hard, I love improving, I’m a dreamer and I’m a grinder.💪
