Course Description

Overview

For a few years of self-education I’ve been taken many online courses, drown a great deal of sketches and created many personal projects. And now I absolutely realize how to develop my own style and what information is lacking on the Internet. Therefore, I made this class full of tips and exercises that will help you in drawing unique characters, finding inspiration and your own style!

In this class you’ll learn:

  • What is ‘not a boring character’ and where to look for inspiration.
  • What are the simplest ways to create a non-boring character from an ordinary one.
  • How to create a character, starting with a silhouette and how to assemble it from pieces, like a constructor.
  • How to free your hand and find your own technique for drawing.
  • How to create a complete illustration with characters, where to get a theme, and how to match colors.

I also added a PDF file with basic notes, tips & tricks, and useful links to the course.

This exciting class is for you:

  • If you are passionate about characters, but do not want to draw caricatures, cartoons or ordinary people.
  • If you are attracted by editorial illustration, fashion illustrations, creation of murals, modern paintings, zines and other projects that your favorite illustrators are already creating.
  • If you are looking for your own unique and eye-catching style.
  • If you want to try something new in illustration.
