Intro
Love K-pop, But Can't Capture That Idol Energy in Your Art?
You've got a favorite idol. You've saved way too many performance clips. But when you draw or animate them... somehow the magic disappears. The expressions feel off, the movement looks stiff, or everything ends up looking either too realistic or too anime. If you've been wondering how artists create those stylish, colorful K-pop-inspired animations, this class is for you.
Learn how to turn real life performances into eye catching character animations with a polished, stylized look. From designing expressive characters and building vibrant color palettes to animating signature gestures and performance worthy acting, Kirana will guide you every step of the way as you create a complete K pop inspired animation. While the class is demonstrated in Procreate, the artistic principles and techniques can be easily applied to your favorite drawing software!
