Anime & Character Design Class
Our Anime & Character Design class invites young artists (ages 10 –16) to explore the exciting world of drawing, storytelling, and visual creativity. Students learn how to design original characters inspired by anime, manga, and modern animation styles. Throughout the course, we cover fundamentals such as proportions, expressions, dynamic poses, costume design, colour theory, and visual storytelling.Students will experiment with a wide range of materials, including watercolours, acrylic paints, pastels, and even clay, bringing their characters and ideas to life in both two and three-dimensional forms. With a strong focus on imagination and creativity, the class helps students build the skills and confidence to create heroes, villains, mascots, or entirely new worlds.The class is hands-on, fun, and supportive, making it the perfect environment for beginners and more experienced young artists alike.
