I was a total beginner before this course, I really had no idea what I was doing, but thanks to this course, I’ve gone from clueless to clued in! I see characters so differently now.
Inge holds your hand and gently guides you through the complete set up of a character in a way that is unintimidating and logical.
I would absolutely recommend this course! I will be taking every course Inge shares with us! Absolutely brilliant.

About the Cute Character 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!
