Description
Do you struggle with coming up with ideas on how to draw characters? Then this is the class for you.
There are thousands of different approaches to drawing characters, yet the blank sheet of paper is still scary. Here IÂ´m going to guide you through a fun and easy exercise on how to draw very different character designs by using simple shapes like rectangular, spheres, triangles, and more to start your design.

Using simple shapes to create cartoon characters is a fun and creative way to bring your ideas to life. Not only is it an accessible and beginner-friendly technique, but it also allows for endless possibilities and variations.
By breaking down complex characters into basic shapes such as circles, triangles, and rectangles, you can easily create a solid foundation for your design. These shapes serve as the building blocks for your character and can be manipulated and transformed to create unique and interesting poses and expressions.
One of the benefits of using simple shapes is that it can help you focus on the core essence of your character's personality and design. By stripping away unnecessary details and focusing on the basic forms, you can create a character that is visually appealing and easy to recognize.
Additionally, using simple shapes can help you develop your skills in character design and illustration. As you become more comfortable with manipulating basic shapes, you can experiment with more complex designs and techniques.
Overall, using simple shapes to create cartoon characters is a great way to spark your creativity and develop your skills as an artist. It's a fun and accessible technique that can lead to endless possibilities and allow you to bring your ideas to life in a unique and exciting way.

You will be amazed by how easy it is. Just by having an intention, using associations, or even just starting with an element you can draw very interesting cartoony characters.
IÂ´m going to help you unlock your creativity and lock in your fear of drawing once and for all. The only thing that stops you from creating is that someone or you yourself have told you that you canÂ´t.

I am a character design, film director, animator, and illustrator. I have worked in the animation industry for over 15 years, bringing characters to life. I have worked with clients such as McDonald's and Ericsson to create top-notch 3D animated characters for their commercials. I´ve had the privilege to direct actors such as Sir Roger Moore and Peter Stormare among all, as voice actors for animated movies. I´ve worked with renowned illustrators and screenwriters such as Iain McCaig, the legendary designer from Star Wars, to breathe life into stories and characters. The TV-show I´ve recently written and directed, called Space Yoghurt, is having a worldwide success and has been featured twice in the Animation Magazine. I´ve published several children´s books.I started my life as an artist at the age of 13 when I attended art school. The first year we had to draw 50 drawings a day, after school. It seemed a lot, but now I know it was what it took to be able to draw well. I know what it takes to become an artist, but also I know the struggle of the process.I´m here to share with you the knowledge that I´ve been gathering through my experience on how to draw. I´m also here to inspire you and let you know that each one of the artists you admire today has been a beginner. Having said that, I´m going to share with you some shortcuts to how you can start drawing and get a result immediately, because, sure you need to put in the work, but inspiration is what will keep you going. You will see that you too have it in you, but you are not aware of it yet. Welcome to my world.
