If Halloween and drawing are favorites of yours, I hope you’ll join this self-paced class with me to learn how to draw seven adorable Kawaii style Halloween characters! NOTE: This is a self-paced class and lessons are presented through pre-recorded videos and optional worksheets. There are no live meetings. Interactions and feedback between teacher and student takes place on the class page for the course. For each Kawaii character: A step by step video will be included as well as a learning sheet with breakdowns of stroke and drawing order for each character. Each video will start with basic stroke order and move onto coloring and embellishing your Kawaii Spooky Character. Optional activity for each figure: As the “Kawaii Style” originates in Japan, you can choose to finish off each drawing by learning what that character might say in Japanese. I include a learning sheet with steps in how to write those expressions in Japanese. It’s so fun to learn the Japanese for each character! Though this is a pre-recorded video class, I am always available through the classroom to give pointers, additional instructions or encouragement with any steps or characters. I truly love to see the incredible drawings that my learners create in their unique style! Self paced classes are fantastic options for: * Affordability * Families with busy schedules as students can work independently when they have time * International students whose time zone might not match in-person classes. * Students who are uncomfortable with live video meetings and prefer to work independently. * Pacing of the instruction portion. Videos can be adjusted to play back more slowly or at a faster speed. I hope you’ll join this pre-recorded class and I truly look forward to seeing your finished Halloween creations!

I’ve been drawing and experimenting with kawaii style for many years and it is my favorite to draw and pass on to others as it is accessible, fun and easy to put your mark and special flavor on your creation. I love seeing how each drawing is similar yet so different and filled with the personality of each artist!
