Hi friend! Juha a.k.a Okuha here, the artist and creative mind behind the Anime Art Alchemy.
You see that drawing?
That is from the very early stages of my artist career.I drew quite a few works traditionally, but something was missing—big time.
The two things I hated the most were choosing the right colors and the inability to erase the ink. Have you felt the same way?
Luckily, I discovered digital art, but that was only half the story.
After years of drawing, I grew as an artist, developed my skills, monetized my skills, and now help people do the same thing.
I’ve helped hundreds of students, and I noticed the same core problems coming up over and over again:
That’s exactly what I’m here to help you solve inside the Anime Art Alchemy.
Inside the program, I’ll tell you what to do (and why), help you gain new skills, and ultimately watch as your skills grow to possibilities.
With your new art skills, you can expand to commissions, merchandise, webtoons, memberships, digital products, etc. There are visuals everywhere, and your skills are at the core of it.
Three simple steps to kickstart your anime and manga art journey to possibilities

Feedback and comments from my students, customers, members, and artist friends!
"I think having access to your material is really cool as not everyone would just offer their “secrets”... In your case, I can feel there are genuine advice, your videos or when you talk it seems that we can trust your words, your speech is deep and patient, and that’s what I enjoy the most, its like having a really cool conversation about every topic you are working on."
"The explanation was clear and precise and I learned some new tricks and tips on making my cel-shading cleaner and bolder. As someone who likes this style and watches lots of anime, I appreciate this course and hope to experiment a lot more with this style. Thank you for the lessons!!"
"What I liked the most is that you touch on topics such as approaching a quality like that of modern Japanese animation. Many tutorials may exist, but they go around, they do not explain it well, or they simply reserve the important tips."
"This was a nice course, I have been looking for someone to teach me all the fundamentals of line art and I finally saw this course. its short, fast, and straight to the point 🙂"
"At first i might be worry since the instructor just showing final product rather than creating from beginning. but as the lesson go on the instructor put the timelapse to follow and the resource at section 3 its not just picture demo or lineart picture but the whole psd as learning material. definitely recommended, its above my expectations and i got a new technique about lighting and stuff. thank you!"
"The instructor made this as simple as possible. I was intimidated by line art for a very long time. I was even scared to take this course because of my lack of knowledge. This course helped me to realize that line art is something that everyone can do. It is a skill within my reach. I look forward to seeing the improvements this new skill brings to my projects moving forward."
"This was exactly what I needed and more! I did use procreate but still followed along. Such great knowledge and I learned so much that I have been trying to understand on my own. The tools given were really good. Thank you !!!!"
“That course (Cel Shading) really helped unlock anime art foundations and cel-shading for me! I had tried before with other tutorials... and it just didn't work until then! But with your explanations and steps I finally got it. It was like pearly gates opening for me, honestly.”
