Bend and defy the rules of proportion and create your very own exaggerated characters.

In this class, you'll learn how to draw proportionate faces. Then, you'll take the rules you've learned and bend them to exaggerate features and create your own fantasy characters! I'll guide you through this process with tips for adding your own personal style and fantasy elements. By the end of this class, you won’t be able to draw just one face, but many faces.

This class is valuable for anyone from beginners to advanced artists looking to create a unique and imaginative face. No experience necessary!

This class is valuable for anyone from beginners to advanced artists looking to create a unique and imaginative face. No experience necessary!

This class divided into 3 parts:

First we’ll build confidence by learning the building blocks of constructing the face such as proportion and placement of the features.
Next we’ll dive into the possibilities of how we can approach exaggeration as a form of creative thinking.
Taking what we have learned, our favorite forms of exaggeration, and mixing it all together to create a final project. We’ll go through sketching, adding fantasy imaginary elements, your personal style, and refining the sketch.

As a bonus I’ll take you through my finalization process, where I add watercolor and collage. Your completed drawings can be easily adapted to a variety of media such as painting, illustration, or digital artwork. Try adding color using your choice of media such as paint, colored pencils, markers or mixed media.

I hope you’ll join me in using our imaginations to create fun exaggerated characters! If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment in the community section.

Let's get started - see you in class!
