Throughout this class you’ll learn to create an illustration that communicates it’s narrative through basic shapes, facial expressions, poses and colors.

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

By the end of this class you will be able to apply all these techniques together to be able to illustrate any idea, not just characters but a whole narrative with emotions, interactions and expressions.

This class 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 class 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 class 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, 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 class, but feel free to use any material of software you are the most comfortable with using, like Photoshop or Krita.

I look forward to see you in class!

Let‘s get started!
