Learn creative techniques to illustrate fictional characters that captivate young readers, from adorable little creatures to more extravagant ones

"I get bored easily and stereotypical illustrations, especially in children's books, really put me to sleep." The goal of illustrator Anna Süßbauer is to make memorable, eye-catching art that entices viewers to take a closer look, which typically involves breaking a few drawing rules and defying the laws of nature. In this online course, she shows you techniques to create your own experimental characters. Learn how to piece them together following the building-block principle and explore your imagination until you've created never-before-seen creatures. Then, experiment with texture and funny features to give your characters a special look before assembling them all in a collage on a poster.
