Character Drawing Course

INTRO:
Working as an art teacher I’ve noticed a big interest from students wanting to learn how to draw characters. This course of 4 sessions will give you a basic introduction to character drawing. When drawing people, there are some familiar details that sound so simple, but actually can be really tricky to do; like how to draw a nose, a hand or two friends holding the arm around each other. And how do you make a laughing face or a surprised look? You’ve probably experienced it yourself, that the image in your head is so clear, but it just doesn’t come out correct on the paper. After the full course you will finish with your own character; it’s up to you wether it’s a cartoonified version of you friend or an imaginary character.
WHO IS IT FOR?
All levels are welcome. Wether you just want to learn something new and fun, want to start sketching small drawings in your journal, for your own kids or more advanced; dream about drawing characters for the game industry, this is a course for you.
