Drawing characters is so much fun for an artist: you imagine how they might look, what their names are, the story behind them and much more. But what a viewer often sees is just a static character with no information about them. And it might look interesting as a sketch but seems boring for a finished illustration.

So what can you do to bring your characters’ illustrations to the next level and make a viewer want to know more about them? In this class I will share with you 5 tips to make your art more dynamic, engaging, interesting to look at and to make it tell a story.

We will talk about:

Importance of backgrounds
Actions of the character
Showing the movement
Using different angles and viewpoints
Including other characters

In the end you will be able to choose the methods you need or use them all and make your own character illustrations much more fun and dynamic!

So grab your favourite drawing materials and I’ll see you in my class!
