Guillem Daudén's Profile & Portfolio
Guillem Daudén
Illustrator
Hi! My name is Guillem Daudén.
I also go by the name Kenji_893.
I am an independent manga artist and Illustrator
who does a bit of freelance Concept Art on the side.
Before this, I worked as a Pixel Artist
and Animator for indie games.
My love for action movies, shows, and video games
started when I was a kid, and before I knew it
I found myself actively drawing
all my favorite characters and scenes.
I guess I haven't really changed much,
because I still do!
My most recognizable work to date are
my character redesign illustrations,
but a dream of mine has always been
to draw
my very own manga.
Around 2020, I started pursuing that dream
by creating my first original manga, Warden!
In this class, I would like to share the fundamentals
of drawing dynamic action scenes,
all while walking you through the process I use,
as I share all the little tips and tricks
I have learned while creating my
illustrations and manga series.
Let’s do this!

Dynamic Expressions
At the heart of every fight needs to be at least two characters. Posing them in a dynamic way that helps show their personality is a core element for creating a truly intense battle scene.
Bring It All Together
There are many different elements you need to take into consideration when drawing an intense, action-packed scene. Effectively combining all these elements is the key to making the whole thing work.

Interview
with Expert Illustrator
Guillem Daudén
I've always loved watching fights and battle scenes in the media. It was fascinating to see how much emotion could be expressed through an otherwise standard physical conflict. That experience inspired me to make my manga "Warden" into an action series. My art stems from a genuine passion for cool fights and action scenes. I've been interested in this specific theme for so long that I'm sure I can offer students a unique approach based on my personality and experiences. We'll go through every step of my process while I share all the little tips and tricks I've learned over time.
Question.02
What would be the most important takeaway from your class?
What would be the most important takeaway from your class?
Similar to the fight scenes we'll be drawing, I believe challenging yourself and pushing yourself to try and be your best is one of the basics of being an artist. Drawing can be frustrating, and during the process, you might even feel like you're failing at times. But overcoming those moments are what lead to significant improvements. So let's have some fun while we draw a cool fight scene!
Question.03
Who should take this class?
Who should take this class?
I created this class for beginner and amateur artists who want to learn new skills and improve. Plus, if you enjoy drawing action scenes this class will be perfect for you. I tried to provide a complete walkthrough: from understanding the basics of movement to adding the finishing touches to your fight scene. If you want to learn how to capture dynamic motion and action within a still image, check out my class and pick up some new skills with me!
