Character Design MADE EASY with Anime Studio Pro
==================================================================
What is this course about?
========================
This course is about those who have no natural drawing ability but want to draw anyway. It is also about turning a sloppy drawing into a refined piece that is ready to rig and subsequently animate.
Drawing for those who lack the natural ability can be a struggle. If you however do have some natural ability when it comes to drawing, this course will translate to you on a different level. Anime Studio Pro makes it as easy as humanly possible to draw what you imagine. The drawing tools are simple but unlike anything else out there. Once you master their tools, it's a matter of playing it smart and using a reference image to achieve the character you want. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
=======================
What material is included?
=======================
This course is a no fluff, straight to the core, course. In it I dive right in to actually using the tools Anime Studio offers to draw our characters. Each character I draw is free for you to use commercially for any of your projects!
I am constantly drawing in Anime Studio and as a result I will be constantly updating this course. At the moment there are 4 ready to rig characters for you to follow along with and or use. But as you check back I will be updating the course with more and more characters and start building an Anime Studio character design community.
=======================
Why take this course?
=======================
In this course I will walk you through step-by-step how to draw and organize a character ready for animation. I will talk about why Anime Studio Pro works for character animation and demonstrate how I use it as a premiere drawing tool. These lectures are gold for those who have had trouble in the past drawing digitally but even more so as I continue to update, these lectures will give you the experience in character design you have been missing!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Is this course right for me?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This course might not be right for you if you are already a well equipped digital artist. But even if you are comfortable at drawing you can still learn how I make ready to rig characters that utilize Anime Studio to its full extent.
I hope you will join me in the ever increasing world of character design! Full details

My name is McCoy Buck, I am 26 years old and am currently a full time student seeking my degree in Business and Multimedia technology.
I have a MONUMENTAL passion for teaching and helping others excel in their various endeavors. Over the past year I have embarked on learning how to animate and stumbled upon software I can't live without, Anime Studio Pro. Since learning the program I have had dozens of clients that have all loved my work. I have three Youtube channels dedicated to Anime Studio Pro and other Animation software one called "McCoy Buck" another called “24 Carat Studios" and the last called "Anime Studio Pros". In addition, I manage a Facebook group titled "Anime Studio Pros" that has rapidly grown as more and more Anime Studio Pro fans have wanted a space to learn together. As a student who is constantly learning, I can't stress how much I love teaching. Having my Facebook group, Facebook Page and Youtube channel, there is nothing I love more than exposing other people to learn and be as creative as possible.
