No matter how old you are, you will have memories attached to certain films, TV, or book characters who fascinated you. Such as you, Tasia M S has been passionate about fantastical characters since she was just a young girl. Inspired by her fashion designer mother, Tasia got into drawing by copying illustrations from style magazines and books. Her illustrations took off once she started sharing them on social media, and she has since collaborated with the likes of DC Comics, Mubi, Clip Studio Paint, 3DTotal Warner Media, and HBO.

In this online course, Tasia teaches you how to create a character that can mean just as much. She will guide you through all the character design, from creating fictitious people or animals to conceptualizing, sketching, outlining, and drawing them from scratch. You will learn how to transform a reference some not notice of and create a stylized drawing of a character with life, meaning, and story!
