Learn from game character painters! Let’s draw an original character packed with personality.

This class is an online digital illustration course for students to be able to draw original characters with their unique personalities.

This illustration course will start with a lecture on “ways of thinking,” such as character design methods and workflows. We will work with the creators to develop characters while moving their hands and turning them into illustrations.

I think it will be a class where you will learn a lot, from those who “want to learn illustration” or “I want to draw my character illustrations because I’m busy” to those who “aren’t satisfied with their character design” or “want to do work related to character design such as Vtuber.”

[This illustration course is suitable for people like this.]

• Those who want to not only draw pictures but also design characters
• I want to try digitally illustrating characters, but I don’t know how to get started
• There is a character design I want to express, but I can’t reproduce it wellSquare
• I want to do work related to character design square
• I want to improve my character design skills and make use of them in my work square

[Step.1] Let’s learn character design thought processes and output methods

In this digital illustration course, we aim not only to have the know-how to draw illustrations but also to be able to create and draw your original characters.

In the lesson, you will first receive a lecture on the basic flow of character design from creator Iroshio. Let’s learn how to think, select, and incorporate motifs by following the methods Iroshio uses when creating game characters.

[Step.2] Move your head and hands to create original characters

Next, using what you learned in step 1, you will set up characters and select motifs, draw rough drawings, and complete the character design.
We start thinking about character settings, props, costumes, etc., then incorporate them into the design.
Let’s complete the “three-sided view” by deciding on the character’s front, back, and side designs and accessories.

[Step.3] Draw up a “standing picture” illustration of the character

Once the three-sided drawing is completed, the next step is to draw a “standing picture” of that character.
Let’s start by drawing a “pose rough” by thinking about character settings and poses where character design comes into play, and acquire solid know-how while performing the processes necessary to draw a single character illustration together with the creator, such as rough → rough color → line drawing → dividing parts → painting → thick coating → processing/finishing.
