You will learn how to:

• Design the head and face
• Create the body
• Draw different expressions and poses
• Add clothing and accessories
• Illustrate simple backgrounds
• Color, add textures and details to finalize your character

Why is this class useful?

If you're an Illustrator, a Pattern Designer, a Graphic Designer or even a Crafter, knowing how to draw animal characters will open the doors to a bunch of exciting possibilities like creating greeting cards, animations, kids books, patterns, game design, packaging or even creating your own brand! 

Who is this class for?

This class is perfect for beginners because I'll explain every part of the process, and even if you don't know how to draw, we'll just be using simple shapes, so anyone can create a cute character! And if you're a more experienced illustrator, but want to brush up your skills and see how I create my characters, and how you can make them your own, this class is perfect for you too!

What tools do you need?

I'll be using Procreate but you can follow along with any design program of your choice, or even with traditional media. I provide some reference sheets for you to download: Basic shapes, Expressions, Head shapes and Bodies and the Procreate Color Palette that I used for my illustration.
