Hi guys! I’m Ed Foychuk, and I’ve been a professional illustrator for decades now. Most of my adult life I was based in Asia, so a lot of the work I have from that period is of an animation style. I did however grow up on Canada, so western comic books are definitely my foundation.
I’ve got a background in Education and Strength Training, and always wondered how I’d combine all of my passions and worlds… and then Udemy came on the scene! I love creating courses for you, my students. I’ve got 20 so far, and dad jokes aside, I think my passion shines through. My specialties are in breaking down subjects, understanding structures, Anatomy, and story telling.
At 20+ courses published on this site, I’ve gained a lot of experience. I’ve learned so much from my students, and really appreciate all of the feedback and support given.
I love working as a freelance illustrator and instructor. It’s opened up so many possibilities in my life, and I want to share that all with you.
