Being only one of few character designers in South Africa that teaches character design, I’ve taken my 8 week in-person program and compiled all the information you need in this book to start of your journey to draw a character.

Week 1: Shapes
Week 2: Anatomy
Week 3: Perspective
Week 4: Expressions & Facial features
Week 5: Clothing Design
Week 6: Color Theory
Week 7: Creating Character Backgrounds
Week 8: Different Character Stylizations

1. Different career opportunities as a character designer and illustrator is included as well as where character design can be applied in different industries.
2. How to build your own portfolio for school/ University or job hunting.

In just 8 weeks, if you follow the book properly… you would be able to go from a stick figure to a basic character with much more divined features. I’ve made sure to provide enough information on each topic, by making it as easy as possible to digest and learn.

What makes this book so different from ALL the other “How to draw…” books on the market, is that this book is specifically designed to help you improve each week. With exercise pages for each chapters topic as well as a densely compiled amount of drawings, references and theory… you should be able to learn the basics in no time.

This book is age friendly, whether you are 14 or 70… I can guarantee that you will be able to learn with ease. BUT the most important thing is that you have FUN in learning. And mistakes are welcome here.
