Assignment:

Draw a character bust inspired by a short description. Don't forget to download the PDF of my Drawing Faces Book to guide you through the process!

Project:

The goal is to use techniques from each 'Day' of this course to develop your own style of character. The final drawing should be done in a three-quarter turn like the character in my example project below.

A little advice: Each student will be coming to the course with a different set of skills so don't compare your work to another artist! Challenge yourself to build up your skills and you'll come out with a successful drawing. Have fun!

Sharing Your Work:

Share your final art and progress with the class by clicking 'create project' in the sidebar. Make sure you upload a 'header image' AND a 'class project' image. If you have any questions, need more tips, or want to chat, please comment in the discussion section!

Ira's Project Example:

I started with a brief description of a character. This is a link to the character generator I used in the course but you are welcome to create your own text. Here's the description I ended up with:

And here's the final result!

This course does not teach coloring techniques but feel free to use color if you like. I couldn't resist :)

Don't forget to download my Drawing Faces Book to get some good ideas on character design!

I'm looking forward to seeing your work!
