“Iva’s classes are always power packed. I am always amazed how she covers so many different aspects in a single class. She always gives enough examples and techniques to cover as many aspects as possible and yet keep things simple. I enjoyed this class since she simplifies the complex topic of human figures so well. And also use them in interesting compositions. Highly recommended!”

Your Class Project
Throughout the class, you’ll learn to draw people in Procreate, and you will then place them in an interesting little story setting of a house that we could call “Humans of my neighborhood,” so it’s even more fun to practice drawing people.

What Will You Learn?
You will learn to draw people and characters using simple shapes.
Drawing people is always fun! It can add a lot of personality and stories to your illustrations.
People illustrations are used in many art forms like every feature film, tv animation, video games, comic books, and children’s books, as well as corporate visuals.
If you want to feel more comfortable drawing characters for your own or client projects, this class is for you.
You will learn to draw:
- Heads, hair and different hairstyles
- Male and female torso
- Arms and hands with a few hand gestures
- The whole body
I will also show you techniques for taking inspiration from references, and you will learn how to simplify real life in your people designs.
You will gain solid skills for developing your people drawing skills further.

What do Students say About The Class?
Here are some of the testimonials students shared about this class:
“I was always interested to draw people and always thought it was going to be a difficult task. This class changed it! I’ able to draw really cute characters now and I can’t stop. So happy to have taken this class. Really helpful, accessible, and inspiring :)”
– Rebeca Medina
“This class is absolutely awesome. I learned so much from Iva! I love how she simplifies things so that we can get to drawing awesome people fast! I am so impressed! I wanted to take a class like this but couldn’t find one exactly like this anywhere. Please continue to make classes Iva! <3”
– Madey Tav
“I really enjoyed the class and it helped me understand how to draw character illustrations which I knew nothing about before! I think everybody will find something useful for themselves in this class. That was a great step for me in my learning:)”
– Victoria M
“I’ve always struggled with drawing characters but this video has been a great help. Easy to follow examples and honestly easy instructions that you could follow AND BOOM- you can draw hands and feet! Thank you for such a fun and informative class!”
– Ashley Lumayag
“Great as always! Thanks Iva! I love the fact that it is really easy to make a project. You can choose to follow along and make one person or fill a whole house, using the templates and color palettes provided. Or you can illustrate everything from scratch (or both if you have the time). It is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners, and both for people with a lot of time and people who want to do a quicker project. I also love that in addition to making a project you will also learn valuable tips and information that transcend the class. Not just literally ‘do what I do’. Recommended, just like the other classes.”
– Sanne W
“Another amazing and very insightful class by Iva. I found drawing characters so hard before but after taking this class, I feel way more confident. I especially enjoyed the class project. It was so much fun doing the exercises.”
– Renee Samson
