Already joined the Stick Figure to Character Challenge?
Great, then you already have a strong start.
In the challenge, you learned the basics:
how to improve proportions
how to build a simple structure
how to add volume, clothing, and personality in a basic way
In this crash course, we take that further.
You’ll learn how to:
apply this structure in side view and 3/4 view
create more dynamic poses with movement
add volume and clothing in more complex poses
create more variation and personality using different
body shapes, hair, and accessories
So instead of just understanding the basics…
you’ll start to feel much more confident creating your own characters.
I had never really drawn before this course, but it's so nice to work on these characters! They're all so cheerful!
If you're looking for a fun new hobby, I can definitely recommend this course.

Hi, I'm Inge!
Hello, I'm Inge, an illustrator from the Netherlands. I haven't been drawing all my life, and I didn't attend extensive art schools or universities. In reality, I started drawing just a few years ago and taught myself how to do it. And believe me, my first attempts were far from perfect. They were, in fact, quite ugly.
That's how I know that drawing is not about talent. It is just about practice. If I could learn to draw, everyone can. But, I've also come to appreciate how valuable a little guidance can be.
That's why I've made it my mission to introduce others to the joy of this relaxing hobby and provide them with the guidance they need to create stunning drawings that will amaze even themselves. As of today I'm very happy to have already guided over a 4000 people with my products, and I hope to help many more!
