Over 7 hours and 35+ lessons to guide you with structure, creative freedom, and your unique artistic voice.
You don’t need to be “born an artist” to design characters that feel alive.
Character design isn’t about talent alone — it’s about observation, curiosity, and the courage to create.
Maybe you’ve felt that imagination should come naturally, or that your drawings don’t quite capture what you picture in your mind. Maybe you’ve doubted your ability to design characters with real personality and story.
The truth is, character design isn’t about perfection — it’s about expression. Every line, shape, and pose tells a story, blending structure and creativity, logic and emotion.
With the right guidance and clear steps, you’ll learn to see beyond anatomy and technique — to design from feeling, from story, from who your character truly is.
In this course, I’ll share the approach that transformed how I create — a balance between discipline and play — so you can explore, make mistakes, and develop your own unique style.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s bring your characters to life.
Hi, I’m Valentin!
I’m a character designer and comic artist from Paris, and I’ve been drawing ever since I can remember. Art quickly became my way of seeing and expressing the world — a tool for creativity, storytelling, and connection.
Though I started at Art University, I soon realized that learning doesn’t have to happen in a classroom. I taught myself through books, cartoons, and constant sketching, which led me to work as a freelance artist, character designer, and comic creator.
In this course, we’ll explore how to bring characters to life — from shapes, silhouettes, and anatomy to personality, storytelling, and style. You’ll learn to create characters that feel alive, and by the end, you’ll have the skills and confidence to develop your own unique designs.
I’m excited to guide you through this journey and help you turn your imagination into characters that truly captivate.

I know the feeling of wondering if your drawings are “good enough,” or if you’ll ever find your own style. I’ve felt that too — and that’s exactly why I created this course.
