HI, I'M MAKO!

I'm a digital artist who started my journey in middle school, sketching on a Samsung phone using IbisPaint with just my finger. As my passion for art grew, I experimented with different tools and techniques, moving from mobile drawing to a tablet and eventually to an iPad, where I now create my illustrations using Procreate. Over the years, I’ve developed my own anime-inspired style, constantly refining my approach to bring more depth and expression to my work.

My brand, Sannmako, is built around my love for digital illustration, featuring a signature blue aesthetic and my beloved wolf-girl mascot, Kita. I’ve always been drawn to anime-style illustrations and short animations, continuously pushing myself to improve and express my artistic vision in new ways. Now, I share my passion with others, helping aspiring artists develop their skills and find their own creative voice.
