Want to build your own IP character from scratch but stuck on concept, drawing, and commercialization? This systematic IP character design course takes you through the entire IP creation pipeline. The course covers complete hands-on content including IP pre-planning, sketch drawing, style finalization, 3D modeling, AI-assisted rendering, animated emoji pack creation, and extended merchandise design.

You will learn drawing fundamentals, line art refinement, color matching, three-view standards, and pose extension, while mastering AI tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to empower your creation. With abundant hands-on cases, live demonstrations, and after-class assignment tutoring, from character concept and sketch refinement to commercial extensions like IP merchandise, posters, and emoji packs, you will build a highly recognizable cartoon IP step by step.

The course not only teaches drawing techniques but also explains IP business logic, teaching you how IP characters adapt to multi-scenario applications and achieve creative monetization. Whether you are an illustration beginner, designer, or self-media entrepreneur, you can master the complete IP design methodology, independently create original IPs with commercial value, and increase the value of your creativity.

This course adopts a step-by-step teaching system, progressing from software fundamentals to commercial practice. In the early stage, students build a solid foundation in form and aesthetics. In the mid-stage, the course delves into IP design techniques across different styles, including cute chibi characters, cool mecha styles, and sophisticated black-and-white dual IP designs. In the later stage, the focus shifts to combining AI tools with design software, using mainstream AI drawing tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to rapidly generate design assets and greatly improve creative efficiency. The course also features multiple commercial project practices, such as Tmall brand KV design and brand collaboration poster creation, allowing students to accumulate real commercial case experience and lay a solid foundation for future freelance work and entrepreneurship.
