"My focus has always been to stay true to my artistic vision. For years I tried to follow the "rules" of art, hoping to fit into what was supposed to be my style to get work. However, I realised that this didn't make me happy or help me stand out. It was only when I decided to simplify my art and focus on the essentials that my work truly began to resonate with myself and others."
"In this workshop, you'll learn to create characters that don't need busy backgrounds or excessive details to stand out. I'll show you how to strategically use poses, anatomy and composition to create striking and expressive characters. The key is focusing on the details that really matter and letting go of any unnecessary elements. What I want you to take away is the confidence that sometimes less can be more."
Stay true to an artistic vision by simplifying work and concentrating on essentials to create distinctive characters. Use pose to express personality, emotion, and narrative without relying on detailed backgrounds. Ground character design in basic anatomy so poses read naturally and believability is maintained. Apply composition to emphasize focal points and emotional intent. Remove unnecessary elements that dilute power and clarity. Build confidence in minimalism to preserve emotion while reducing detail. Use targeted study of poses, anatomy, and composition to make simplified characters strong and expressive. Consult recommended digital art software and tablet guides if new tools are needed.
