Description In this class you will learn how to draw several different characters with a variety of different gestures and poses. You will begin by understanding what the line of action is and how to give movement to your characters. From there, you will learn how to break down components of your character into simple shapes, then change those shapes to emphasize the design. Your instructor will also show you how to keep the proportion of your character, no matter what pose or position they are in.
