Welcome to the Character Design for Beginners – Create Your First Character class!
Throughout this class, I will carefully guide you through a 15-step process which will take you from an empty page to a full illustration. You will learn strategies and skills you can apply to your own illustration practice.
In this class, as I am going to use the iPad Pro and Procreate, it is recommended to have these tools and have a basic knowledge of the program. Of course, if you have taken any of my digital illustration classes, you know that I comment on everything and leave detailed notes so that you can work along with me easily. You can also use different programs, like Photoshop, but then you will need to adjust the steps for yourself.
Regarding the artistic background, this class is perfect for beginners. So if you are at the beginning of your illustration journey, you are at the right place – either you are taking this as a professional path or you are taking it as a hobby.
The skills you will learn in this class will open so many doors for you, not just by leveling up your technical skills, but by changing your mindset about approaching a project.
So hopefully, after this class, there will be no stress and unnecessary procrastination about an artwork you need to create for somebody, or for any of your personal projects.
So if you are ready to start, let’s get into it!
