This class is a fun, in-depth, and practical exploration to draw gestures and body postures for your characters. I will share insights, best practices, and secret tips on how to draw gestures and body postures to give life to your characters.

We will dive into the body construction theory, we will practice with different and fun exercises to loosen up your hand and finally, we will apply what we learned by drawing a character from scratch.

Whether you are a beginner or have some experience drawing characters, by the end of this class you’ll learn how to draw gestures and body postures so you can improve your drawing and bring life to your characters.

This is the first class in a series of classes — consider it your pack of essentials where I clarify every doubt I had when I started illustrating characters, that can be useful to you: new students!

In the series of classes, we will cover the essentials of character illustration one at a time. We will learn basics such as postures, expressions, gestures, backgrounds, clothing, and finally how to apply your characters to a real-brief project. You can follow the series one by one or choose the best that suits your experience (or level?)

Each class will be compounded by:

A first theoretical section, the fundamentals.
A second section where we will do practical exercises.
And a bonus section where we apply all we learned during the class by creating a character from scratch.

Materials:

Ipad pro with apple pencil
Procreate app

Optional:

A sketchbook or paper
A pencil
