You want to create characters that are unique and meet the needs of the market? You are an aspiring illustrator wanting to learn the craft? Or an established illustrator wanting to tap into your creativity more and hon your craft?

In this self-paced course on character design you will learn all the tools you need to create unique and appealing characters.

During this course you will create 3 kid characters in various ages and 1 adult character. After finalizing this course and the assignments you will have 3 portfolio pieces in black & white and 2 portfolio pieces in full color or vice versa if your portfolio requests it.

In the 7 videos, with almost 9 hours of footage, I will take you through my process and teach you how to design characters starting with the very basic - rhythm. All the important aspects as proportions, personality and movement and interaction will be part of this course.

Each video is accompanied by a brief to help you take the learned into action and make use of it while also creating new art for your portfolio.

And even after having done the course you can always come back to the course and use it to create yet more character art for your portfolio!

In this class you will learn:

• designing with basic shapes

• using rhythm to enhance your designs

• using silhouettes for readability

• creating characters in various ages

• understanding proportions

• telling movement and posing your characters

• drawing engaging characters

• black & white shading

• using color and shadows on your characters

• creating vignettes/spot art for books

• unlimited access to the videos

This class is for:

• everyone interested in creating believable characters for the children’s book market and beyond

• aspiring illustrators

• established illustratos

Please make sure you have accomplished my free course on hands. It is also a benefit to have taken my course on designing heads & facial expressions, as I will not cover those two topics in detail in the character design course!

Let’s start designing great characters together!
