Character Design Workshop
ROCK-SOLID drawing foundations
Learn character essentials, face/body proportions, and the secrets of shape language. Apply newfound skills to craft your characters. Let imagination thrive in this simple, fun, and creative experience!




In this workshop, we will learn the essentials of crafting interesting characters, breaking down the key elements that make them awesome and lovable.
Once we’ve got the basics down, it’s time for the fun part – drawing! We’ll start with understanding human face and body proportions, grasping how our features change as we grow. This helps us make our characters look just the right age.
But here’s the cool part – we’ll learn all about Shape Language, a secret known to real character designers that will change the way you look at characters from now on. This means knowing which shapes to use in your characters so you can make your audience feel in a certain way about them.
Now that we’re character design pros, it’s time to put our skills to the test. We’ll apply what we’ve learned and create our own characters from scratch. Get ready for a workshop that’s all about bringing your imagination to life – simple, fun, and full of creativity!
