Drawing Journal – Create Fantasy Characters (Diario de dibujo – crea personajes fantásticos – Spanish, Multisub)

In this online course, Guille Rancel, an illustrator who specializes in comics and has worked on Sorunne and Emi the Dream Catcher, will teach you how to create fantasy characters using your drawing journal. The course will show you how to draw expressive and unique creatures through various exercises and sketches, and you will see your sketchbook fill up with your creations as you learn. You will also learn the techniques for designing characters and develop the habit of drawing regularly. By the end of the course, you will have transformed your sketchbook into a fantasy world.

To begin the course, you will be introduced to Guille Rancel, who will share his professional journey and show you the references that have influenced his artistic style. You will also learn about the importance of sketching for any artist and select a theme to explore in your drawing journal. Then, you will do some exercises to help you loosen up your hand and overcome any creative blocks.

Afterwards, you will begin to develop your chosen theme, such as a witches’ forest in the case of the teacher. As you draw objects and living beings, you will be inspired by the references and let your imagination run wild, filling your sketchbook with your creations. You will also learn about thumbnails and sketch your main character.

Next, you will create a final drawing of your character, incorporating elements from your previous sketches to enrich the design. You will then focus on developing the character’s personality to make the drawing more expressive and dynamic. Additionally, you will explore how your character can interact with other creatures in its universe. Finally, Guille will share some tips on character design that you can use for your future artistic endeavors.

The project for this online course is to develop a visual journal with a fantasy theme of your choice, create a unique fantasy character, and learn how to establish a drawing habit.

This course is designed for anyone who enjoys drawing, particularly those who like to fill their sketchpads with their creations.

No prior knowledge or experience is required to take this course. All you need is a pad and a pencil, although you are free to use any preferred drawing method, including digital tools.
