Character Design Course Season 2 [Sci-Fi Edition] — Enrollment Open!

Good evening everyone, thanks for waiting!

Today marks the official launch of enrollment for Season 2 of Evan Lee-sensei's

"Character Design Course"!

Enrollment will stay open for a month, but as always there's a cap on seats

(our support staff and TA bandwidth only stretches so far),

so depending on how things go, we may close registration early,

apologies in advance to everyone affected by that.

"Character Design Course" 2025 Season 2

Character & Illustration Design and Guidance 《Sci-Fi Edition》

『Course Overview』

Ever stare at a blank page with zero inspiration, or find yourself lost every time you try to design something?

This course comes from EVAN LEE, an internationally recognized artist

with over 18 years in the industry,

who's built the struggles we've all hit into a systematic framework,

sharing exactly how to break through the wall when creative inspiration runs dry.

Taught in a simple, approachable way that turns complex design theory into something structured.

A guided curriculum built specifically around character design, from the ground up.

Starting from the most basic shape variation and color pairing,

you'll work step by step through the countless magical combinations that go into character design.

Worth noting: this course's theme is sci-fi!

While there are similar sci-fi design courses out there in the West,

equivalent instruction in Chinese is genuinely rare.

Evan-sensei's skill at designing sci-fi looks puts him among the best in the industry,

and he absolutely will not disappoint!

In class, the instructor will pair theory with live demonstrations,

working through a variety of themes to walk you through the process hands-on.

Topics covered include character——

costume design, color design, prop design, motion design, and sci-fi style design

so that by the end, you'll walk away with a complete design skill set and eye for style that lasts a lifetime.

『Who This Is For』

・Veterans who want to sharpen their sense for sci-fi design and inject some fresh excitement into their work

・Anyone with a deep love for character design
