I will be using Autodesk Sketchbook. Although I can help troubleshoot with other apps, students should have a basic idea of how their chosen digital art drawing program works before attending this class if they draw with an app other than Sketchbook. Users of Procreate, IbisPaint, Krita, Photopea, Photoshop, Illustrator, Inkscape, Graphite, Vectr, PicsArt, etc. are welcome!

This class is great place for anime lovers and digital artists to practice their digital drawing skills. Students are invited to interact with one another during class and discuss their favorite anime. My goal is to create a creative, social learning environment where students will feel comfortable sharing their ideas, chatting about their favorite shows, and asking for help with their digital art process. Artists learn through feedback; students will be encouraged to share their progress and discuss their ideas at multiple stages in the drawing process.

Each class will begin with introductions. Students are invited to share their personal art and their favorite anime with the class. At the start of each class, students will vote to choose which image to draw (see list below for options!)  We still start the drawing process by looking at the original anime stills or anime-inspired artwork and talk about the drawing process, starting with a rough sketch using shapes and then building more details in layers later. I will monitor student’s progress throughout the class. Students are invited to share their artwork at the end of class. After class, I will post the chosen theme in the classroom with the reference image attached.

Each class will be a directed drawing of a different anime character and introduce slightly different drawing skills. I will teach basic composition skills, the sketching and “editing” process, human proportions, combining references, basic perspective skills, and more-- the same drawing skills professionals use, presented in a fun and accessible way.

All students are invited to share their final finished work on the classroom forum after class in addition to sharing during the live class. Students who do not finish their drawing during class time may also receive feedback by posting or messaging their drawing to me.

At the beginning of each class, students choose the character we draw. For example:
Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
Attack on Titan
Fruits Basket
One Piece
My Hero Academia
Sailor Moon
Tokyo Revengers
Yu Gi Oh
Little Witch Academia
Erased
Naruto
Hunter X Hunter
