In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how digital artists use body language, costume design, color palettes, and character details to express personality and story. Students will sketch a pose, refine the sketch, and use Medibang Paint Pro to create a polished illustration that shows their sidekick’s look, attitude, and role. At the end of the studio, students can share their work and receive feedback in a supportive environment.

-
