[Kobe Gakuen Educational Corporation] Special Classes by Three Popular Illustrators—Kurumitsu, Nanami Yuki, and Akira Egawa—to be Held Continuously from May! Reservations Open Today!

Creative Classes to Learn from Professionals: Held from May to July 2026 [About this Project] This project is a series of four special lectures inviting active, frontline creators in the industry as instructors to directly impart their specialized skills and mindset. Rather than a simple event, the purpose is to present the "diverse perspectives" that professionals have cultivated in the field, providing students with an opportunity to concretely envision their future careers. [Lecture Details] For this event, centered around "special lectures" that dive deep into each instructor's area of expertise, we are also planning "live drawing" sessions where you can experience professional brushwork up close, and a "Q&A corner" where you can ask questions directly! This is a major project that is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience professional techniques and ways of thinking, those aiming to become illustrators, and those looking for an illustration vocational school. We look forward to your participation.
