Level Up Your Characters is designed to equip artists of any skill level with reliable tools that can be used any time, with any character, to make it better.

Whether you are creating a new character or reworking an old one, this class will walk you through five easy to understand (but hard to master) techniques for taking good designs and making them great. Don't want to learn all of them? That's okay, because each lesson stands alone so you can jump straight to what you want to work on!
