In this class, you'll learn how to design captivating Japanese-inspired manga characters in different poses, from simple pencil sketches to a final illustration in colour.
Your teacher, an experienced animation and anime lecturer, will show you how to draw the full body of your character and how to consider the right proportions in different angles and positions.
You'll get tips in developing your own unique style while looking to common and traditional manga styles such as kawaii, shojo, chibi and moe for inspiration.
Explore how to give your character a unique expression, hairstyle and clothing. You can even pick your favourite character concept design and finalise your illustration using professional markers, ink and brush-pen.
