(II) Chibi Character Illustration

This module will first introduce the concept of drawing chibi character illustrations, including how to observe a character, how to grasp the drawing focus and draw sketches quickly, how to portray various expressions, and drawing characters of different age groups. Students will learn about the body structure of chibi characters and try to draw different parts of the characters with variations in the exercises.
Once students are familiar with the basic character structure and detailing, they will then advance to learn about the dynamic presentation of characters, character coloring techniques, different types of clothing presentation, and other coloring techniques. In addition, the course will also share how to collect relevant reference materials when drawing chibi characters, so that students can design and create characters independently after the class.
(This course provides an educational experience for beginners who are interested in computer graphics from elementary to profound. Teachers will introduce the beginner's concepts of drawing. Through classroom exercises, students will be able to improve their drawing and thinking skills. They will be inspired to explore freely and their drawing style will be developed gradually.
The course will first introduce the concept of computer graphics so that students can learn the similarities and differences between digital painting and traditional painting. Afterward, students will get to know how to use the basic tools of computer graphics. After students are familiar with the use of tools, they will learn basic figure drawing techniques. During the exercises, they will learn the complete drawing process and become familiar with the ideas and the main points of drawing from the draft to the first coloring and then to the final drawing.
During the exercises, the instructor will also share websites for portfolios, material resources, and design inspirations, so that students can learn independently after class.)
