Create genuine and unique characters in the styles of anime! We will begin by understanding the most popular styles such as Shonen, Shojo, Seinen,  Kodomomuke and Fan Art.  Here we will break down the basics you need to know before delving into the eclectic and fantastic world of Japanese Graphic Art. Aside from creating stylistic characters, this class will cover the fundamental principles of systematic drawing, starting with building guidelines.  From there, learn to draw the core anatomy then sketching of details.  Lastly, render the drawing through the application of tones, colours and textures.  A young adventurous hero, a hearty female character, or children in a whimsical neighborhood--this program will inspire you to try creating them all!
