I'm the author and illustrator behind the online comic "Emmy the Robot" and the children's book "Twenty-One Terrifying Monsters".
I've designed this course to be accessible for beginners and younger artists alike who want to learn the basics and more nuanced elements of visual storytelling with characters.
I will be walking you through my entire process of creating a character from start to finish so that by the end of the course you will be able to create original characters in your own style by yourself.
One of the most important things that makes us fall in love with our favorite stories are good characters. Whether you're a 5 year old reading your first picture book, or a young adult reading webcomics online, one thing that draws an audience in from any age and demographic, is a good character.
We will go over the fundamentals of character design early on, eventually building towards creating stories with your own characters in mind. This course is for those looking to make their own children's books, graphic novels, webcomics, or are interested in general character design.
This class is here to show you how to create characters for books and comics that readers will connect to and follow through their entire journey. We will cover the basics of creating appealing characters with personality as well as techniques and tips to save you time and energy while creating a series around them.
You will learn not only how to design your characters as you imagined, but to bring them to life through visual storytelling and acting. Whether you have an epic tale to tell, or a simple funny anecdote,I look forward to helping you develop the skills to share your stories with the world!
By the end of this course, you will know how to create an original character concept, draw it consistently with model sheets, and draw characters with emotional range acting in different scenarios across visual storytelling mediums such as webcomics and books.

Hi there! My name is Dominic Cellini, I am the illustrator and author of webcomic "Emmy the Robot" as well as the children's book "Twenty-One Terrifying Monsters".
I graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design in 2016 with a degree in Sequential Art. I've been doing freelance illustration and character design for 4 years now. I am lucky enough to create art full-time and I love to help others achieve their dream of doing the same.
Sharing my original stories and characters with such a big audience is a tremendous honor, and I cannot wait to show you all the things I've learned over the course of this journey!
