Description

If you´ve started drawing, or even if you´ve drawn for a while you may have found it challenging to deal with human or animal anatomy when you design your characters. Well, then this course is for you.

Here we will focus on character design and character´s personality by picking any inanimated object and turning it into an appealing character.

You are going to learn how to easily create any shape and form with very simple principles.

You will receive a road map that will free you from the burden of the guessing work for constructing a character and open the playfulness of the creative work, as it should be.

I´m going to break the misconception you´ve been thought that you must have the talent to draw and prove to you that anyone can draw if you know those simple principles.  The drawing needs to be fun and if you´ve been struggling that´s because you´ve learned it the wrong way.

Have you ever started drawing a character from the eyes and the nose and just made your way down the body to find out that got you nowhere?

Your character has become too small or too big or suddenly, you just ran out of paper space for the rest of the body!!!

Or perhaps you´ve started with good intentions and you drew the eyes and they turned out pretty nice, so you carefully put on the eyelashes, to find out that it does not suit the character you initially planned to draw. (you wanted to draw a bear but now it looks more like a Barbi doll).

Don´t worry, we´ve all been there. Yes, even me. That´s how I know. (I haven´t spied on your drawing sessions, I promise).


We are going to get rid of all this confusion by starting from the right end of the drawing process. It sounds too good to be true? Yes, but it is that simple and that good.


You are going to be able to design a set of cartoon characters that you can put in your book or animated movie, or just in your own collection of drawing for yourself or your kids.
