How the lessons work
Watch the step
Each step has a short demo of the pencil strokes. Play it again whenever you need to.
Draw it on the canvas
Use a mouse, a stylus or your finger. The pencil and eraser behave a lot like real ones.
Get feedback from Luna
Send the step and Luna tells you what looks right and what to fix. Adjust it and send it again, or move on.
What’s in the course
Before you start
Who it’s for
Beginners who want to draw original anime- and manga-inspired characters. The course teaches still character drawing, rather than animation, comic storytelling or advanced anatomy.
How long it takes
Work at your own pace. The final full-body project involves more construction than the early head studies; playback time is not an estimate of your drawing time.
What you need
Use the lesson canvas to follow the guided drawings and submit your attempts for feedback. You can also follow the public tutorials with paper, a pencil and an eraser.
What you don’t need
Previous Academy courses, detailed anatomy knowledge, perfect lines or professional drawing equipment.
