Description

Learn to draw people and characters using simple shapes.

Drawing characters is always fun! It can add a lot of personality and stories to your illustrations. Character design is used in many art forms like every feature film, tv animation, video games, comic books, children's books, corporate visuals, and illustrations.

If you want to feel more comfortable drawing characters for your own or client projects, this class is for you!

In this class, I will take you through the journey of designing characters using simple shapes so you get more confident and have a solid starting point when drawing characters for your illustrations.

We will be placing the characters in an interesting little story setting of a house which we could call “Humans of my neighborhood,” so it’s even more fun to practice drawing characters.

You will gain solid skills for developing your character design style further.

You will learn to draw:

Heads, hair, and different hairstyles
Male and female torso
Arms and hands with a few hand gestures
The whole body

I will also show you techniques of taking inspiration from references, and you will learn how to simplify real-life in your character design.

I will be using Procreate, but feel free to use any other drawing software or medium you prefer.

In addition, you will also get a bunch of freebies to practice:

House template illustration
Window and balcony frame templates
Color palette for the characters and the night scene
Mood boards with photo references for your characters

Let’s get started with expanding your horizons and drawing awesome characters!

See you in the class!

I am super happy that you are here! :)

I am Iva (rhymes with “viva”), and I'm a full-time illustrator, teacher, and nature enthusiast.

I love illustration in all its forms and my goal is to bring you to a world full of happiness, color, and wonder in the form of fun and helpful classes.

I'd love for you to have fun while learning, so I always aim for a fun, positive, actionable, and inspiring creative experience with all my classes.

I love when you share you had many “AHA” moments, learned valuable time-saving tips, gained confidence in your skills, and that it is much easier for you to illustrate what you imagine and you are very proud of your finished work.

I want to help you on your art journey with what I learned along the way by simplifying the complex topics so you don’t have to spend years figuring things outs. The lessons are packed with practical information, lots of examples, useful tips, and ideas for a different way of doing things.
