INSTRUCTOR

Wei Chang (WeiChen)

Founder of WeiChen Studio · Senior commercial illustrator

“Technique is just the baseline — what I teach is the commercial design thinking the industry actually wants.”

With over 10 years of professional experience across film, games, and publishing — from book covers for publishers at home and abroad, to game characters and scenes, to concept art for film and animation. Having seen too many creators who paint well but can't land work, he systematized freelancing know-how and production workflow, guiding students step by step past their plateaus and into professional practice.
