Want to learn to draw? Want to learn digital painting? Whether you're a complete beginner or an artist looking to grow stronger, WeiChen's online courses let you choose what fits your own level — that's what matters — and arrange class time flexibly. Steady, earnest practice at your own pace is the most efficient way to learn.

After class you can rewatch the course videos anytime, with no expiry — as many times as you like. That's how you truly absorb the details and techniques. Whenever the Taipei Comic Artists Guild runs a digital painting course, the first team I think of inviting is Li-Chen and Chih-Wei of WeiChen Studio — hand a course to them and they see it through to the end, giving students the best teaching quality.

To find a good course, first find a good teacher. My recommendation — the online digital painting courses at WeiChen Studio.

In the age of AI, many jobs are gradually being replaced — but creative content is hard to substitute with computation, so people in this field actually have more and more room to shine.

A few years ago there was still a debate between traditional and digital drawing. At its root, digital painting is simply the digital evolution of hand drawing — and we have now fully entered the digital era. As a professional artist, you must master digital techniques.

If you want to get started in digital painting, or make your skills more fluent, WeiChen's courses can absolutely help — in a short time you'll be able to stand on your own, freelancing or creating as a capable digital artist.

Chih-Wei has been a good friend of mine for many years. Through his sharing about illustration, I came to realize how different illustration and comics really are as professions — in comics, without lines we have no way in, yet he can lead you into an image through color and light, opening up a whole new perspective. I've gained a great deal from it.

I warmly recommend that anyone interested give this course a try — rethink drawing from a different angle, and see how you, who love drawing just the same, can reach the next level.

STUDENT STORIES

Student feedback

Real changes students have walked through — from zero to freelancing, from stuck to steadily creating.

★★★★★

The biggest help was how detailed and deep the concept explanations are. After a few online meetups, besides trying hidden colors and color swaps, I also started thinking about character silhouettes — a whole new way of thinking about my drawings.

Sometimes my drawing hand just goes cold for a while — beautiful starts, tragic endings… The teacher's live revisions helped me sort out problems from the root. It really helped me so much — I could finally find the knots I'd never managed to untangle myself. Thank you, teacher!

STUDENT STORY

Student stories

One student's full journey — from starting at zero to walking a creative path.

In-person Procreate studentNow in his fourth in-person term
“I told myself, if it doesn't work this time, I'll give up — and then this course showed me, for the first time, my own work changing.”

The start. Photoshop was the first digital painting software he tried, but he never got past line-art practice — drawing stayed a hobby.

The turn. Later he picked up Procreate, already thinking, “If it doesn't work this time, I'll give up.” Then he joined the in-person course, followed the teacher step by step, and truly finished a work for the first time.

The result. Watching his own work change little by little, he found his reason to keep painting again — and he has now continued into the fourth term of the in-person course.

From the teacher

As the third term was wrapping up, this student shared after class why he first started learning to draw. It moved WeiChen deeply — helping someone find the will to keep painting is the happiest part of teaching.
