Bring characters to life

Instead of swooning over Baby Yoda, you could learn to create your own. This is one of the first characters that Jarrett J Krosoczka (JJK), author and illustrator of Hey Kiddo, Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute, teaches on his free live sketching tutorial, Draw Everyday with JJK. In 20- to 30-minute episodes, Krosoczka focuses on key areas of illustration, like expressions, body language, and proportions. His studio that is every comic book fan's delight is also worth checking out.
