What do SpongeBob, K-pop Demonhunters, and Mickey Mouse all have in common? They’re all iconic characters! In this drawing course, artists will create and develop their very own original characters! We’ll practice portraiture and figure drawing to create unique characters that are both visually and conceptually complex. We’ll also create landscapes and environments for your spectacular characters in world building exercises. We’ll make the best good guys and the meanest bad guys come to life!
