Character Design for Beginners
Learn character illustration from sketch to final design with 6 modules and 6+ hours of training.
“I’m not talented enough"
✨ Maybe you’ve looked at character artists and assumed they were simply born talented.
✨ Maybe you think their ideas flow effortlessly onto the page.
✨ Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I could never draw like that.”
The truth is simple: character design is a teachable skill.
What looks natural in others comes from learning the basics, practicing with intention, and understanding how shapes, proportions, and expressions work together.
You don’t need special talent to begin. You just need structure, clear guidance, and the confidence to take the first step.
In this course, I’ll help you build a solid foundation in character illustration from your first shape breakdowns to your first complete character.
This is where your journey starts.
You’re capable of far more than you think.
Maybe you enjoy character art, but when you sit down to draw, you don’t know how to build a figure, where to start, or how people make it look so natural.
Maybe you try a few lines, get frustrated, and assume others were simply born with something you don’t have.
The truth is simple: character design is a skill built through fundamentals, no matter your starting point.
This course is made for anyone who wants to design characters with confidence complete beginners, casual sketchers, or anyone who has tried before and felt stuck.
You’ll learn how to break characters into shapes, construct solid poses, understand expression, and develop designs that actually work on the page.
No shortcuts. No “natural talent” required. Just clear guidance, structured practice, and a path you can follow.
I’ll show you how to get there.
Hey, I'm Ale!
also known online as XeonSoda. I’m an artist and illustrator with over 7 years of experience working as a freelance illustrator on the internet.
My work focuses mainly on creating original webcomics, characters, and worlds shaped by dark fantasy, nostalgia, and occasionally psychological elements. Storytelling plays a central role in everything I create, and I approach character design as a way to express emotion, identity, and narrative.
Although illustration is my main practice, I graduated in Digital Animation, and I apply much of that technical knowledge to my character design process and comic creation. Even when I’m not animating, the principles of animation strongly influence how I think about structure, form, and visual storytelling.
Through my work and my courses, my goal is to help artists understand character design from the inside out, combining narrative depth with solid design foundations to create characters that feel meaningful and alive.
Imagine letting go of all doubts...
 🎨 You begin with basic forms and slowly see your drawings take shape.
🎨 You let go of the idea of “talent” and focus on learning the fundamentals.
🎨 Each page becomes a place to explore poses, expressions, and ideas.
This is where growth starts.
Today, you can give yourself the chance to understand the craft instead of guessing.
With the right guidance, the confusion disappears and the structure aparece.
Throughout this course, you’ll learn how characters are built, how poses work, and how to design with intention.
You won’t be alone, I’ll guide you lesson by lesson!
