About This Course

In this course I will take you through my process of drawing and designing cartoony characters

In this course I want to share my process of designing and drawing cartoony characters in both stylized and classical styles. I have been working in animation for almost 8 years now, and have experience in both 2D and 3D animation.

I will take you through the very basic constructions and initial stages of drawing the cartoon figure, and break it down so that you can try these techniques to any character you want to draw yourself.

I will then show you how to implement these basic techniques to draw characters based off reference and start designing your own creations.

  • draw basic constructions before jumping into designing and drawing your characters

  • understand the difference between classical construction and stylized construction

  • use reference material for inspiration and ideas
