Do you love drawing characters and want to bring more personality and charm to your characters? If you want to learn how to elevate your character illustration into an endearing one that captivates viewers, this class is for you. As a self-taught artist who has since illustrated for companies like Disney, Netflix, children book publishers, and licensed my art on products sold around the world, I have developed an easy method to illustrate enchanting characters.

Contrary to popular belief, character illustration isn’t only for books and animated films - you can also find them in various products like stationery, greeting cards, home decor, fabric, toys and more. Being able to draw charming characters will open up avenues for your career so I encourage you to add this important skill into your arsenal as an illustrator.

Join me as I guide you, step-by-step, through my process of creating magical characters that have personality and charm.

In this class, you will learn:

Storytelling and idea generation of a good character story and concept
How to find inspiration and use references to develop your character
Using expressions and poses to bring your character to life
Dressing your character to add more personality to your character
Adding colour and texture to enhance your character drawing
Tips and tricks using Procreate to sketch and finalise your digital illustration

This class is for beginners as well as intermediate artists who want to incorporate character illustration into their skillset. I will be using Procreate on the iPad Pro tablet to demonstrate the final illustration, but you’re welcome to use other drawing software or pencil and paper.

Please note this is not a “How to use Procreate” class - you should have some familiarity on how to use Procreate and the different features, although I will be showing some tips and tricks on how to use the tool while illustrating.

At the end of this class, you’ll have a fully illustrated magical character to add to your portfolio, as well as a solid process you can use to continue creating new characters with personality.
