日本語: Niji アカデミー

한글: 니지 아카데미

Here at niji, we understand exactly how difficult it is to create a piece of human-made art with your own hands. The journey is long and cold, and the waypoints of satisfaction are few and far between.

The only known cure for the loneliness of making art is to immerse yourself in the company of like-minded individuals. Oh, to be warmed by the fire of a thousand fervent souls all attempting to make pretty anime girls in the same discord channel. (niji users, you know this feeling, right?)

I jest. But it really is infinitely more fun to practice drawing together, so come out of your summer stupor and draw with us at Niji · Academy! If you are lucky, you might pick up a fast hour or two during lecture.

Blk Cat’s 100-Drawing Challenge

• blk cat is challenging you to show him 100 drawings.
• If you make it through 100 drawings with your own face by the end of the program (October 31st), blk cat will think that you are so cool that he will personally send you a lovely enamel pin of his face.
• Blk cat will open a special discord channel to collect drawings once he finds a jar big enough to fit them in.
