 Character Sketching & Design: Bringing Ideas to Life
A step-by-step course to create original, expressive characters: from personality to costumes, props, and final design.
Every great story begins with a character...and every character begins with a sketch
Think about your favorite heroes, villains, or creatures. They are not just lines on paper. They carry personality, emotion, and a story that makes them unforgettable.
Designing characters isn’t about waiting for inspiration or letting AI churn out soulless images. It’s about using simple tools and creative techniques to shape personalities, explore costumes and accessories, and bring life to beings that only exist in your imagination.
In this course, I will show you how to move from a blank page to a finished character design. Together, we’ll build expressive faces, dynamic poses, and full character sheets that showcase identity, style, and storytelling.
By the end, you will not just draw characters...you will create ones that feel alive. Because let’s be honest: your villains deserve more than looking like AI’s idea of a bad guy.
Great characters start with a great backstory
Maybe you can already draw, but your characters feel unfinished. Or maybe you want to start designing characters, but do not know how to move from a blank page to a complete design.
This course will guide you through that process step by step. You will learn how to sketch expressive faces, build costumes and props, explore personality through design, and create characters that belong to their own world.
Because here’s the truth: AI can mash shapes together, but it can’t tell you why your villain hates the hero, or what makes your creature more than a blob with wings. That’s where real imagination comes in.
By the end, you will have the skills to design heroes, villains, and creatures that feel alive, and the confidence to keep creating more.
Hey, I'm Aaron!
I’m a self-taught artist of Scottish and Jamaican descent based in London. I create bold portraits and ink illustrations directly from my imagination. Merging classical portraiture with a spontaneous, stream-of-consciousness approach, my work explores surreal, grotesque figures and themes like technology, spirituality, and cultural identity.
I founded Play Attention—a project where humor and lighthearted creativity contrast my more serious art. With a background in storyboarding and art direction, I let intuition guide each piece, using tools like Chinese calligraphy brushes and Pentel brush pens to keep the energy alive.
My creative journey, which embraces mistakes as part of the process, has led to collaborations with brands like Revlon, Vogue, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, Mercedes, Disney, Netflix, H&M, and Sky Arts.
