Character Illustration with Bold Fashion: Drawing Figures & Dogs in Procreate

via Skillshare

Overview

It’s all about illustrating fashionista characters with their animal matching outfit friends and pushing your character illustrations to new heights! It’s an opportunity to show off your fashion sense. 

Drawing characters can be intimidating, but just with a little guidance and practice you'll be able to create yours! Since the character drawing is the core of different illustration fields, with the help of this class, you can upgrade your illustrations in every field including patterns, interiors, nature, travel illustrations and so on. Your stylish characters will fit in and help to level up all of your illustrations. 

Join me as I share how to:

  • Create a story for your character style. 
  • Gather inspiration
  • Draw different body types, hairstyles, and bonus an animal friend
  • Style up your characters
  • Create colour palettes
  • Add color, texture and details

I’ll be walking you through my whole process on how I create my fashionista characters, and exploring ways to create character style stories and experiment with hair styles, clothes, accessories, animal friends and colours to make your characters stand out.

I’ve made some of the first steps easy with cheat sheets so if you want you can get started to stylize your fashionista right away! 

I’ll be working in Procreate for this class but feel free to use any other drawing software!

Whether you’re new to illustration or a seasoned artist, I’ll help you to jump start your creativity and find a direction while creating a unique stylish character from head to toe!

This is a follow up class to my first class Style Icons: How to Create your Style Icons in Procreate?” Even though It's totally fine only to attend this class, I would recommend checking out my first class if you want to practice on a smaller scale and get more into pattern design.
