Want to develop your anime drawing skills?

Want to impress your friends, grow in confidence, and make anime art that you're proud of?

Then join this weekly anime art class, where I teach you new anime drawing techniques every single week. We'll cover everything from faces to clothes to different types of characters. Drop in any week or stay for multiple--you'll learn a new technique and make great art every single week.

Both beginners and advanced artists alike are welcome!

Students will learn how to draw each subject from start to finish, tips on how to take the styles in their own directions, and how to combine what we learn (in each lesson and together) into their own character designs. Exploring the directions mangaka and anime artists take for creating eye-catching characters will guide students into a stronger creative mindset when drawing existing or original anime characters and designs. 

You'll even develop your own unique take on the anime styles we explore.

This class is continuous and welcomes new learners every single week. You can join at any point and not miss a beat. You can drop in for just a week or stay as long as you'd like. Many learners join and stay for 20, 30, 40 weeks or more! Lessons exist as stand-alone topics, but the longer you stay, the more techniques you'll learn, and the more your skills will grow.

Here are examples of lesson topics that you may find in this class:

Anime Eyes
Hair and Hairstyles
Head Angles
Expressions
Hands
Feet and Shoes
Folds and Clothes
Chibis
Flowing hair
Action poses
Capes and Long Fabric Folds

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
----------------------------
💪 KAITLYN SYDELLE, ANIME COMIC ARTIST 💪: With a B.F.A. in Graphic Design with an emphasis in Illustration from CSU Fresno, I am an experienced, award winning comic artist with several self-published titles. I have been professionally teaching comics and anime themed classes to artists of all ages since 2013, from 1-on-1 elementary sessions to college-level classrooms. I’m very passionate about everyone experiencing the confident joy of putting your ideas onto paper, and feeling your world come to life. I believe there is no such thing as a “bad” art style, and that anyone can draw given the chance. In my classes, I help guide students to develop the styles they would enjoy practicing, honing their own signature style, or having space to try a new technique! Some of my favorite hobbies outside of art are studying foreign languages and martial arts to keep my brain and body active.
