Chapters 8 through 15 are on the way. Each chapter drops every 2 weeks — details revealed as they go live. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, this course covers everything you need to draw professional-quality characters — from foundational theory to complete workflows.

Four professional illustrators at Neo Academy — Wanke, Tokkyu, Soya, and Mya — each bring their own style and process to the table. You’ll learn not just techniques, but how working artists actually think and make decisions.

• Perspective from every angle — standard, high, and low
• Dynamic poses through force drawing, contrapposto, and silhouette design
• Conveying emotion through expression, gesture, and atmosphere
