Creating Simple Characters

Dutch artist and illustrator Nelleke Verhoeff takes us on a fun adventure turning pencil and collage into believable little individuals, with emotions and personalities!

Welcome!

Hello!

Hello!

First of all thank you very much for signing up for this class!

I hope this class will give you many ideas and I invite you to play!

In this six lesson class we’re going to create a variety of characters. Simple characters.

But what is a character? Each character has its own characteristics that makes him, her or it unique. Shape of the head, attitude, attributes …

A character doesn’t have to be complicated to tell a story. Just a few lines can already tell a lot. We’re going to sketch, draw, cut, glue, explore and play and make all different kind of characters.

In the end we will make our own simple character accordion book as a fun souvenir of this class. That’s why we will work on small papers, so we can add the characters to our book.

I wish you lots of fun!

All the best,

Nelleke
