Character Art School: Complete Character Design
Master the Art of Character Drawing and Design with Professional Composition Techniques
Do you want to take your character drawing from average to extraordinary? Whether you're a complete beginner or a professional artist looking to refine your skills, Character Art School: Complete Character Design is the ultimate course for mastering the principles of highly engaging character art. This course teaches you not just how to draw characters better, but how to design them with visual purpose, clarity, and the kind of powerful compositional theory that makes your artwork unforgettable.
Why This Course is Different
Most character drawing courses focus on surface-level tips—drawing anatomy, learning proportions, or replicating references. While those are important, they often leave artists stuck in mediocrity. What truly separates great character artists from average ones is their grasp of composition—the hidden structure behind compelling drawings and illustrations.
In Character Art School: Complete Character Design, you'll learn how to build character compositions and design from the ground, up using easy to learn high-level compositional theory. This isn't about copying or rote learning; it's about understanding the structure of art itself and applying it to your character designs, so that they stand out with clarity, style, and impact.
What You'll Learn Inside the Course
This course takes you step by step through the complete process of character compositional design, giving you tools you can use immediately in your own art. Topics include:
- The Advanced Structure of Art – Learn the advanced frameworks that underpin all great character designs, giving your drawings stronger balance, flow, and appeal.
- Image Sourcing & Inspiration – Discover how to effectively gather, analyze, and use references to fuel your creativity instead of limiting it.
- Granular Line Composition – Master the subtle art of line modulation, rhythm, and flow to create character illustrations with a magical energy and personality.
- Shape Composition & Proportions – Understand how shapes define the foundation of your characters, and how proportion choices change the mood, style, and readability of your designs.
- Layering Techniques & Compositional Tools – Apply advanced methods to build complexity into your drawings while keeping them clean and cohesive. Learn the foundational compositional techniques that truly enable breathtaking and highly engaging character art.
By the end of the course, you'll have a professional toolkit for designing characters that not only look great, but also communicate ideas, emotions, and stories extremely effectively.

Why Composition Matters in Character Design
Great character drawing is not just about technical skill—it's about making the viewer feel something. Composition is the invisible force that guides the eye, creates emotion, and ensures your character designs leave a lasting impression.
Without understanding composition, even technically solid drawings can look flat or uninspired. With it, however, your characters will have presence, clarity, and depth. This course gives you the same design principles used by top illustrators, animators, and game artists around the world, so you can bring your own characters to life in a way that captures attention and tells a story.
