In this ongoing course students will learn and practice how to draw portraits of their own original anime/manga characters. This class is demo-lead and will cover basic drawing techniques for sketching character facial features in 3 views, gender bending, aging, inking, and coloring character portraits. This course is for beginners and those new to drawing cartoons, anime, and manga. It runs at a very easy pace, so no prior knowledge is necessary. This course is open to students using traditional and digital drawing tools. There are 16 total lessons in this course (2 lessons per week). Day 1 lessons are demo-lead and students will follow along with the instructor using any templates or resources posted to the classroom page to learn the drawing technique. Day 2 lessons are practice sessions and students will practice or discuss the drawing techniques demoed on Day 1. Weekly homework assignments are where students can really show off what they learned and express their creativity by creating their own original characters. Homework will be assigned and posted to the classroom page on Day 2. Students must submit their homework by the due date to receive helpful feedback from the instructor.

Hi everyone! I’m Joi Overby. I graduated university with Summa Cum Laude honors with my BS in Media Arts and Technology. Since then I've worked in the graphic design industry designing thrilling logos and publications for businesses, and drawing specially-made illustrations for individuals and families.
Drawing is my passion and I especially love drawing cartoons and anime! This passion has inspired my classes here on Outschool that teach young artists the basics of creating their own cartoon and anime characters and worlds. By name, my class series is called Draw Your Own Anime Characters and it’s set up to guide artists at virtually any level of their art journey. Each class is open to students drawing by hand or digitally, and is loaded with practice assignments that help the drawing techniques become familiar, if not, second nature to students. I encourage you to check out the class series and give your future artist the opportunity to hone their unique art style and skill.
