1-on-1 Anime Drawing Tutoring: Faces, Bodies and Your Own Characters

The learner holds their sketchbook up to the camera or shares a photo, and the tutor draws alongside under a document camera. Each session fixes one thing, such as eye placement or stiff poses, with a quick demo and guided practice. Over several sessions the learner builds a character sheet for an original character.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

  Sketchbook Review and Goals – Look at current drawings and choose what to improve.
