This is a short and simple little class on investigating what makes a character cute and how to create your very own unique characters that you can use for just simple illustration, card art, scrapbooking and more. We will cover all of the phases of creating character designs starting with gathering ideas, sketching practice and finally coloring in and finishing your drawings. All of the class will be performed in Clip Studio Paint, but this course can easily be transferred to be used in Procreate, Adobe Photoshop and other digital art programs. You are also more than welcome to go the traditional route and design your characters with pencil and paper.
The basics you will learn in this class are the basic proportions for cute characters as well as an introduction to color theory basics. We will also go over good sketching practices and how to reference from multiple sources.
This class is intended to be simple and laid back enough for beginners and the casual artist but it can also offer some new perspectives to experienced artists. This class is also perfect for anyone who wants to round out their skills or just branch out into something new. I look forward to having you in class!
