Come and learn the toon style with 20 lessons and 4+ hours of my full process!
"You're Either Born With It Or You Aren't"... Yeah, No
We’ve all heard that tired old line that art is some magical gift reserved for the "chosen ones." Honestly? That’s total trash. Nobody just wakes up and paints a masterpiece. It’s not a secret club.
The real ingredients?
Patience, showing up when you don't want to, and actually giving a damn about what you’re making. That’s it. That’s the "talent."
I’m not saying it’s easy, but I am saying you can do it. I’m here to hand you the tools and the roadmap I wish I had when I was starting out.
Let’s get into it!
Character Design Is A Skill You Can Actually Learn
Whether you’re just looking for a new hobby to de-stress or you’re a self-taught artist trying to finally "level up," I built this for you. We’re going to look at characters through a new lens and actually understand why cool art looks the way it does.
Yo, I'm Matt
I'm a digital artist from the UK, and I'm beyond excited to share a new course with you. I specialize in creating art that blends fantasy and reality, from epic sci-fi scenes to striking character portraits.
I'm the background artist for MeatCanyon and have also created art for Natural_Six and Obojima.
I'm currently deep into the world of comics, and I'm so ready to share all my techniques with you.
Let’s make something epic!
Beat The Post-Judgment Anxiety
Imagine finishing a piece, looking at it, and actually feeling proud. No comparing yourself to some pro on Instagram and feeling like garbage. Just pure, creative fulfillment. That’s the goal here. Art is supposed to nourish your brain, not stress you out. I’m going to help you find that flow.
The Lab Breakdown
Observation
You will learn how to draw characters, including proportions and perspective.
Drawing
Acquire new techniques using directly a pencil on paper or Procreate.
Coloring
Coloring characters is a fun practice of laying and adding shadows!
The course has 4+ hours of content and 20 video lessons.
You can pause and replay the videos as much as you want. The course is suitable for everyone, teens, adults and children because there is no explicit content. It would be best to take the course in order, because it will start from the basics to lessons at a more advanced level.
Practice makes perfect!
The 7-Module Blueprint
4+ hours of content. 20 lessons. Zero fluff.
MODULE 1
Welcome to the World of Style!
We will go step by step through the tools, software, and hardware I use to teach and draw everything.
Tips & Tricks on Procreate and other digital methods.
MODULE 2
The Power of Shapes
Here, we will break down how to draw a character, from sketching basic shapes to finalizing its form. We will also discuss the differences between drawing bodies and heads and how to manipulate shapes to create different characters.
Push shapes to a 3D setting with illusions and how it helps your thought process.
MODULE 3
Playing with Proportions
MODULE 4
Expressions and Emotion
In this module, you’ll learn how to give your characters structure and soul. We’ll start with the fundamentals of body and facial proportions, then explore how posture, gesture, and facial expression work together to convey real emotion.
MODULE 5
Posing and Movement
In this module, you’ll discover how to make your characters move, breathe, and feel alive through strong, dynamic poses. You’ll learn to capture the essence of motion and emotion in just a few lines
You will learn the gesture drawing basics, the line of action and how it guides movement and how to pose with personality
MODULE 6
Clothing and Props
In this module, you’ll learn how costumes do far more than dress a character — they tell their story. Every fabric choice, accessory, and layer adds depth, revealing who the character is, where they come from, and what they’ve been through.
You’ll explore how clothing interacts with the body and movement, how materials behave under tension and flow, and how props can add context and meaning to a scene.
MODULE 7
Colour and Character
In this module, you’ll uncover how color shapes the emotional impact of your art. We’ll dive into the fundamentals of color theory — hue, value, and saturation — and how these elements work together to create atmosphere, depth, and storytelling.
You’ll learn to build palettes that match your characters’ personalities and the tone of your scene, discovering how warm and cool colors can shift the viewer’s perception in subtle but powerful ways.
