Dreams Do Come True! Design Your Own Disney-esque Character (The Essentials You Need To Get Started!)
We LOVE DIYs — everything from cutting boards and coasters to accessories and jewelry. Sometimes, though, 2D creations can spark just as much joy as 3D pieces. Maybe you like lettering… or maybe you like (or someone you know likes) drawing. Whatever your interests, we’ve got you covered in our CLASSES SECTION. If cartoons and characters tickle your fancy, head on over there and sign up for our INTRO TO CHARACTER ILLUSTRATION class.
In this class, you’ll learn how to sketch out a character and use Photoshop to breathe life into it. At the end of this class, you’ll have all the skills you need to design your very first fully illustrated character!
Here’s what you need:
- SKETCHING PAPER: “A general purpose, medium weight sketch paper intended for technique practices or quick studies with any dry media. This package contains one 12 x 9-inch side spiral-bound sketch book with 100 sheets of 60-pound acid-free, lightly textured paper.”
