学习为经典cel动画、数字动画、漫画书或只是为了好玩而画制作卡通人物。在这门课程中，德莫特·奥康纳回顾了人物素描的基础知识和构成有效人物的基本原则：轮廓、夸张、挤压和拉伸、不对称、纹理、线条粗细等等。然后他专注于画出个体的身体部位——眼睛、嘴巴、手和头发，以及不同种类的动物、生物和物体。最后，德莫特从头到尾创造一个准备移交给动画师的难忘的角色。

Learn to draw cartoon characters for classical cel animation, digital animation, comic books, or just for fun. In this course, Dermot O' Connor reviews the basics of character drawing and the principals that underlie effective characters: silhouette, exaggeration, squash and stretch, asymmetry, texture, line weight, and more. Then he focuses on drawing individual body parts—eyes, mouths, hands, and hair—as well as different types of animals, creatures, and objects.
