Do you love character design and want to improve your skills? In this class, you’ll learn how to take the qualities of two separate characters to make one new unique one. Inspired by Pokemon, this class uses anime qualities to create a fun character. By the end of this class, you’ll have made an original character and learned technical skills to get you there.

By the end of this course, you will know how to:

Draw character proportions
Combine character features
Develop and original character
Draw in an anime style

Materials:

My demo is drawn digitally using Medibang Paint Pro, but you may use any medium
If you're working traditionally, I recommend pencil, fineliner and coloured pencils
To learn how to use digital techniques, see our lesson: Intro to Digital Art in MediBang
