Drawing Characters
Learn the basics of human proportions so you can turn around and break those rules to make adorable characters! I'll show you some simple ways to draw the wire frame of a character, head and face proportions, details to notice when drawing heads at different angles, how to draw simple hands and feet, and other information that will help you create on your own!
Vintage Fairies
Follow along with me as we create a vintage fairy illustration inspired by the paintings of Cicely Mary Barker from the early 1900's. Learn the process and then combine what you learned in the previous character drawing class to go on to create your own!
As always, you will get all the brushes, palettes, and other resources you need to follow along!
How to illustrate characters that are designed for you!
This is an older class is great for beginners, you might want to start with this class for this bundle. I have it at the end because it's older :)
If you are familiar with my classes, you know I love texture. In this class, I will show you the steps I take to illustrate a character with some wonderful but soft textures. You don't need to learn how to draw the characters in this class, it's all provided for you. The goal is to learn the process for managing layers, when and how to use clipping masks, blend modes, and more! It's a beginner-friendly class for sure!
