Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, this course covers everything you need to draw professional-quality characters — from foundational theory to complete workflows.

Four professional illustrators at Neo Academy — Wanke, Tokkyu, Soya, and Mya — each bring their own style and process to the table. You'll learn not just techniques, but how working artists actually think and make decisions.

[ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ]

• Art theory grounded in real principles — light physics, perception psychology, and aesthetics

• Human anatomy from head to toe — proportions, structure, and how to apply it to characters

• Facial features that feel expressive: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and hair

• 3D form construction and geometric anatomy

• Perspective from every angle — standard, high, and low

• Dynamic poses through force drawing, contrapposto, and silhouette design

• Conveying emotion through expression, gesture, and atmosphere

• Character design from concept to completion — face, body, costume, and color palette

• Color theory and lighting applied to illustration

• Full workflows in both Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint

• Three distinct styles: realistic, anime, and chibi

[ YOUR INSTRUCTORS ]

Wanke, Tokkyu, Soya, and Mya are professional illustrators at Neo Academy — not theorists, not hobbyists. They draw for a living, and in this course, they show you exactly how they do it.

In the final chapters, each instructor walks you through their complete workflow live — from rough sketch to final render. You'll see the decisions they make in real time, the instincts they've built over years of practice.

This isn't just instruction. It's mentorship.
