Hello! My name is Sav Bakker, and I’m a freelance artist specializing in character illustration. I love bringing characters to life, especially through digital art! Along the way I've established a routine art process that makes my time more efficient, and makes tackling big projects seem less daunting. llustrating a character doesn't have to be scary or complicated, we can simplify it into a handful of basic steps!

I wanted to share this class because I realized that I’d been using this routine, or a variation of it, for a while now, and it’s had so many great benefits. There’s something so reassuring about facing a new project, and already having a plan on how to tackle it. We'll talk through the sketch, line work, colour, rendering, and finishing touches of an illustration, and also, subjects such as strategy, efficiency, and growing as an artist.

This class won’t go into detail about art principals and theory, but will focus more on the overall organization of creating this style of illustration. I hope that you are able to take away something from watching how I work, and even if we don't go into a lot of drawing fundamentals, I'll still be sharing all my tips and shortcuts! This 5 step routine is a great base to start your journey into digital art, and as you grow it will change along with you. If you already have your own groove, I hope you are able to reflect on it and acknowledge each individual step.

Thank you for joining in, and let's get started!
