Spot & Fix What Looks Off to Create Your Ideal Characters
Do your characters look awkward, stiff, or lack appeal, but you’re not sure why? In this class, you'll learn to identify what feels off by comparing your work with your ideal illustrations. Apply your knowledge of anatomy, proportions, and perspective to understand the underlying issues and make effective corrections that bring your characters closer to your vision.
Turn Anatomy Knowledge into Appealing Anime-Style Characters
Applying anatomy directly to an Anime-Style character can sometimes make the result feel stiff. Learn how to use knowledge of the rib cage, pelvis, facial proportions, and limb structure as a foundation, then adjust and stylize those forms to bring out a character’s appeal. Develop character designs that preserve what matters in an illustration: visual interest and clarity.
Go Beyond Finishing: Practice & Review to Improve Your Art
Overcoming weaknesses and exploring new drawing techniques takes more than theory—it takes practice. Through studies and repeated exercises, learn to apply what you've learned, review your finished work, identify areas for improvement, and build a cycle of continuous growth with every new illustration.
