Do you love My Hero Academia and are looking for a semester art class? Want to sharpen your sketching skills and focus on anime profiles? This class is designed for you! In this 12-week intermediate course, students focus on the expressions of popular My Hero Academia characters. The topics that we will focus on in this course will include but not limited to; expressions, male vs. female, multiple angles, how to achieve this independently and be able to walk away to create ourselves into a student of UA. This course is broken down into different categories depending on the character and the type of emotions that specific character may tend to embody. Students will leave this class feeling confident that they can create their own MHA character and inspired MHA characters. Students should expect to draw two to three facial sketches within a session. This is dependent on the pace of the class. This class is designed for the My Hero Academia fan who wants to take their drawings to the next level. Art experience is not necessary but helpful.
