This online course, “Himawari – Naruto Character Fan-Art Modeling”, offers a complete, step-by-step look into the creation of a stylized anime character inspired by the Naruto / Boruto universe. Led by Flycat, the course focuses on transforming a well-known 2D character into a polished 3D fan-art model, while maintaining artistic accuracy, expressive charm, and clean production standards suitable for ArtStation portfolios.

Throughout the course, students follow the full character modeling workflow, beginning with basic block-out and proportion setup, and progressing into detailed sculpting. Special attention is given to facial anatomy, stylization, and expression, ensuring Himawari’s youthful personality and iconic appearance are faithfully represented in three dimensions. Flycat explains how to balance anime aesthetics with solid anatomical foundations, making the model both appealing and structurally sound.
The course also explores hair and clothing construction, demonstrating efficient methods for shaping stylized hair volumes and creating clean, readable clothing folds. These techniques help maintain visual clarity while adding depth and realism to the character. Viewers gain insight into maintaining smooth topology and strong silhouettes, which are essential for high-quality renders and potential animation readiness.
In addition to sculpting, the course covers refinement and presentation techniques commonly expected on professional platforms like ArtStation. Students learn how to polish surface details, enhance visual consistency, and prepare the character for final rendering. The workflow emphasizes clean results without unnecessary complexity, making it approachable for intermediate artists while still offering valuable insights for beginners aiming to improve their character modeling skills.
