Read some reviews from students:

“Super amazing.. It’s amazing how things are broken down in simpler steps. Thank you so much!!” Daizy Shah

“This class was amazing. So packed with useful information. I didn’t even expect that the process of illustrating can be broken into so many clear steps. Thanks a lot!” Agnieszka Zagroba

“This was such an amazing class, and I’m so glad I found Artmother. She’s a great teacher and takes you step by step until her finished (so cute) project. I learned a lot and have already started another of her classes.” Marília Diniz

We will cover everything from getting an idea through the design process to getting a clear line art, and then we will explore illustration techniques that will bring your art to life.

This course has been designed with beginners in mind. If you feel that you are stuck at a level and cannot communicate ideas beyond a single character or scene, this is the course for you. Whether you are a total beginner or already have some experience, you will find the simple explanations and the step-by-step guidance helpful.

There are so many tools that can help us communicate our ideas. In this course, we are going to choose one main and a secondary character and use these tools to express the interaction between them. Shape language, facial expressions, expressive poses, colors, and props all help us to build the personality of our characters and tell us more about the relationship and interaction between them and all the emotions they are experiencing.

I’ll be using an iPad and Procreate to demonstrate the techniques in this course but feel free to use any material or software you are the most comfortable with, like Photoshop or Krita.

The resources that come with the class are only compatible with Procreate. If you are working with a different software, no problem! The video and the whole design process can be followed without the worksheets and brushes.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
