GOUACHE TECHNIQUES FOR
CHARACTER ILLUSTRATION
Create fantasy characters with 11 hours of lessons, 47 practical videos using gouache.
Artists Are Made Through Practice
You’ve probably heard that talent is something you’re just born with, or that only a few can create bold, captivating characters. That’s a myth. What you see in other artists comes from dedication, practice, and consistent effort.
Patience. Discipline. Curiosity.
In this course, I’ll guide you step by step, showing you how to design characters, sketch with confidence, and bring your ideas to life in gouache, all while developing your own style and voice.
Ready to turn your ideas into striking art? Let’s get started.
Hi, it's Júlio César Petrini
A traditional illustrator specialized in gouache painting.
Since I was a very young kid I developed a huge interest in everything related to illustration and art in general. My mom used to say the first words I said when I was born were "I want to be an illustrator". That's, of course, a joke she created just to express how committed I was to learning how to draw since my first steps.
By the time I was 18, I knew exactly what path I wanted to take, so I joined the University of Fine Arts.
During my graduation years, I've learned and studied many different and interesting subjects; however, I focused on the techniques I loved the most: Watercolour and Gouache.
Jumping ahead to the present, I have a cozy illustration studio at home, where I create illustrations and bring the wonders of imagination to children's books, book covers, commissions, and various art-related projects, including my social media tutorials.
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on this complete and beginner-friendly gouache course. My main goal is for you to learn in a structured but fun way, and pave the way I carved over a lifetime with tips and tricks that are going to be a game-changer!
