Nobody is “born an artist” and that’s the beauty of it!

Many people believe that creativity is something you either have or don’t, that drawing is a natural talent you’re simply born with. The truth? Artistic skills are built through patience, practice, and the desire to learn.

Every artist you admire has gone through the same process: sketching, making mistakes, improving, and slowly finding their own voice. And you can do the same.

This course is your roadmap.

Step by step, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to draw characters with personality, moving from the first sketch all the way to a polished final artwork.

Are you ready to prove that artistry comes from practice, not magic?

Hi! My name is Ana!


I'm a digital illustrator and graphic designer living in Germany. You might know me as anam.draws on YouTube and Instagram.

For a long time, I kept art as a hobby, but in 2020, I moved to Germany —and that’s when I dove into digital art, learning, experimenting, and sharing my creations online. I’ve learned everything I know by myself, building my skills step by step. My journey in digital art is backed by decades of experience in traditional art, and I know one thing for sure: you need a solid understanding of the basics to create art that truly comes alive.

I'm here to help you and share everything I know about drawing characters, shapes, color, shading, rendering and much more! If you're not sure where to start your digital journey or simply would like to learn my techniques – this is the right place!

We’ve all been there! Staring at a blank Photoshop canvas, unsure where to start


Maybe you’re new to digital art and feel lost among all the tools, or maybe you’ve been drawing for a while but your characters still don’t look the way you imagine. The proportions feel off, the colors don’t work, and the final result never quite “clicks.”

This course was made to change that.


Through clear, structured lessons and real-time demonstrations, you’ll learn to think and work like a digital artist — not just copy steps. You’ll see why certain choices make your characters feel more alive, how to use light and color to tell a story, and how to turn a simple sketch into a polished piece that actually reflects your style.

By the end, you’ll finally feel in control of your art — and proud of the characters you create.

AT THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL:

Create Expressive
Characters From Scratch

 You’ll know how to design characters that feel alive — with dynamic poses, natural proportions, and facial expressions that tell a story.

Use Photoshop
Like a Professional Illustrator

From brush settings and layers to lighting, color, and post-processing, you’ll master the essential tools and workflows that make digital art faster and smoother.

 

Finish a Polished
Portfolio-ready Illustration

You’ll complete a fully rendered digital artwork — from the first sketch to the final details — ready to share online or include in your professional portfolio.

Step by step, you’ll explore character design principles like shape language, expression, and clothing — and discover how to use light, color, and atmosphere to give your characters depth and emotion. Finally, you’ll bring it all together in a polished, professional-quality artwork, ready to share with the world.
