Step into the future of storytelling by creating 3D characters, environments, and interactive games.
At QUED-UP, we believe that every great story begins with a powerful character. Our Cartooning & Character Design program helps young creators develop their own original characters from scratch—starting with basic shapes and building toward expressive, dynamic designs ready for animation, comics, or games.
Whether students dream of creating superheroes, fantasy creatures, or hilarious cartoons, this course gives them the tools to:
Master drawing fundamentals and proportions
Explore facial expressions and body language
Build character backstories and personalities
Experiment with color theory and style
Design full character model sheets and turnarounds
Taught by real industry professionals, this program helps students see how cartoons go from a sketchpad to the screen. It’s perfect for aspiring animators, comic book artists, or anyone who loves to draw.
No experience? No problem! Our instructors break it down step-by-step and make learning fun and engaging for all skill levels.
