Beginner Level
In this class, I'll guide you through the process of combining different animals together to create unique mythical characters and draw them in a fully illustrated cartoon scene, sharing tips and techniques along the way. The project consists of seven parts. We begin by sketching out our setting. Each subsequent part will show you how to draw a different mythical creature. Feel free to change it up, substituting different animals to make your own mythical creatures. We’ll draw characters using simple shapes, making them easy and fun to draw. The style is somewhat kawaii, with charming, adorable features. However, you can add your own flair and creativity to each character, modifying the drawings to suit your unique artistic vision. Let your imagination run wild as we bring our mythical creatures to life with your personal touch and creativity!
