You also learn how to use the basic shapes to form the head, eyes, hands, and use the pen tool for the clothes, mouth, nose and other elements.
You will learn to cut the workflow in half by duplicating certain areas of the character and flip those parts to make a complete dress and more. The duplication process will allow you to create two arms and legs from one drawing.

This was such a helpful course. I am not new to Photoshop or Illustrator but have never been good at drawing people.
I have always been so frustrated by the pen tool in Photoshop and Illustrator and this is the first time I've actually been able to better understand how to use it. I appreciate the fact that the character drawings were simple for a beginner like me.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is there were certain parts of the course that were not so polished. He would make mistakes and backtrack and I would get a bit lost when he'd go back so I felt there could have been slightly better editing to make the course run smoother.
Otherwise, it was great for someone like me who just wants the basics of learning to draw characters in Photoshop and Illustrator using the pen tool. If you've always struggled with this tool, this will help. It would have been nice to see just a bit more detail and explanations on the fundamentals of the tool but nevertheless this helped me GREATLY!
Also, I'm a Photoshop user mostly and was able to apply the lessons here to Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
