Refine, Elevate, and Professionalise Your Characters
This advanced course is designed for artists who already understand the fundamentals of drawing anime faces and want to push their skills further.
While this pack can be taken alone, as a free-standing course, it is worth noting that we will be expanding on the core principles taught in Premium Course Lesson Pack 1. We will be refining structure, enhancing details, and developing subtle techniques that transform artists with solid illustration skills into professional-level character artists with true individual flair.
This course isn’t just about drawing faces – it’s about designing characters with stronger presence, personality, and impact.

What You Will Learn in This Course
In this course, you will learn through video lectures created by professional Japanese manga artists and animators, focusing on advanced techniques for drawing more compelling and expressive character faces. You will study how to differentiate faces across various anime styles and genres, master male and female hairstyle design - including dynamic, flowing hair - and learn how to use glasses and other accessories to enhance character appeal.
You will also have access to unlimited personal feedback from professional Japanese artists, in English. They provide guidance and corrections on the homework assignments you submit throughout the course.
This premium learning experience is designed to refine your skills beyond the fundamentals, allowing you to enjoy a greater range of artistic expression in your character design.
Through 10 advanced video lectures, you will learn the following topics:
Understanding Style Differences Across Eras & Genres

Study how facial parts — eyes, noses, proportions — shift between styles, and gain the ability to draw a wider variety of character types with intention and control.
Mastering Hairstyles for Stronger Character Appeal

Learn how to bring everything together to create more expressive, memorable, and professional-level artwork.
By mastering these advanced face design techniques, your struggles with how to adapt faces for different genres, how to design effective hairstyles, or how to add details that enhance character personality - will be resolved.
