Hey there! I'm Gabrielle 👋
I know exactly how it feels to struggle with character drawing. Back in 2010, I remember scrolling through beautiful stylized art online… daydreaming and thinking..."I wish I knew how to draw characters."
The stylized characters I saw captivated me...but every time I tried to draw them myself, they just didn’t look right.🥴
I spent years making wonky drawings. But after a lot of trial and error, I finally figured it out. I found a process that made drawing characters feel simple and fun, and actually led to drawings I loved.
Now, I want to save you years of frustration and show you the exact methods I wish I had when I started. That’s why I created Character Drawing Essentials, a step-by-step course designed to take you from "I don’t know where to start" to confidently creating stunning, stylized female characters. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ll be your guide, and by the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to bring your characters to life with ease.
Beautiful Work by Students
