Message from Kiyotaka Oshiyama
My wish is for Atelier Durian to be a platform where you can not only view edited materials but actually feel closer to the world of professional animators. I will of course be sharing my top tips on drawing. I also have many inside stories that I can only share within a private community like this. Most of all, I want to share with you how I approach drawing and animation on a day-to-day basis. This community is still at an experimental phase. Join us and help make it the exciting place we want it to be!
