Welcome to the "Creating Human Characters for Beginners - Faces & Expression" Course!

In this course you will learn to create human characters, more specifically, we are going to focus on the head and facial expression.

The class is perfect for beginners and for those who struggle with drawing heads. It is not easy to draw and illustrate the faces of characters, but we are going to start right at the beginning - with the construction of the head, and then move to a more fun part, where we are going to craft our own heads with different shapes. We are also going to push it forward to express the emotions and personalities of the characters through facial expression and props and details.

Illustrations tell stories and the best way to communicate your ideas is through the character, right?

Shape language, expression and details all help us to convey our ideas. Learning and mainly practicing how to use these tools to visually communicate will increase the quality of your illustrations. After completing this class, you will have the foundation to further develop your own ways for visual communication and to be able to really transfer your ideas to an easily readable artwork.

In this course I am going to use an iPad and Procreate, but as it is a general art topic, you can follow the class in any software and if you are independent enough, even traditionally.

The class comes with some cool resources:

- worksheets (to stay on track, with all my drawing I created in the class - for reference, not necessary to complete the class)

- Character Brush Set - I crafted a new set of Procreate Brushes for the class

- A Color Palette - that I am using for my final piece, but there will be a

- BONUS VIDEO - teaching how to choose your own colors

- and another BONUS VIDEO - to teach you how to create a procreate brush for some cool details

The way this class is broken down will help you to easily follow along and to get rid of the intimidation of the topic. All exercises and resources will set you up for a successful class project...and we will have so much fun!

So, are you ready to start designing?
