Unleash your creativity and learn the art of character design with 60+ videos and 8+ hours of content!
You think character designers are born with a natural talent? THIS IS WRONG!
✨ You've always believed you need natural genius to create original characters.
✨ You've been stuck, thinking your own style is something you find, not something you build.
✨ True artists never lose their inspiration and always produce masterpieces on their first try
Am I wrong?
Well, these are myths!
The stunning art you admire isn't born from innate magic—it's forged through practice, patience, and learning the right process.
PATIENCE, DEDICATION, PASSION:
these are the true tools that will unlock your unique artistic voice.
I don't want to say that there are not people who are better skilled than others, but I want to tell you that if you want to, you can become a true artist yourself!
I'm not saying it won't take work, but I am telling you that you absolutely can do this. My role is to demystify the process, giving you the step-by-step techniques and confidence to bring your incredible characters to life.
What do you think? Let's start this journey together!
Character design is a magical skill that can be learned!
Do you love animated stories and captivating game characters? Have you always wanted to create your own original characters but aren't sure how to bring them to life? Are you a hobbyist artist looking to develop a unique and professional style?
Creating charismatic characters is a talent everyone can cultivate!
I designed this course for creators of all levels, from absolute beginners to those who already sketch and want to refine their art. You will learn how to build a character from the ground up, developing a unique style and finishing your artwork with confidence.
Hi, I'm Charcooll!
… or in full, Charlize Noelle Batara
I'm a 24-year-old digital artist from the Philippines with a strong focus on character design and illustration. Inspired by stylized shows and cartoons from a young age, I developed a distinct, playful art style that reflects my love for expressive and imaginative characters.
Driven by creativity and a passion for growth, I hope to one day break into the 3D art industry and inspire other artists to follow their dreams.

Render
Apply light, shadow, and texture to bring your designs to life.

Course Content
The course has 8 modules for 8+ hours of learning and practicing. You can pause and replay the videos as much as you want. The course is suitable for everyone, teens, adults and children because there is no explicit content. It would be best to take the course in order, because it will start from the basics to lessons at a more advanced level.
