Blender Anime Character Modeling Course

Model a character head from a blockout, bevel edges, and add edge loops; mirror with clipping, refine the eye socket and mouth, and apply a stylized low-poly look.

Model the top costume for a Blender anime character by duplicating the base mesh, refining geometry with knife cuts, extrusions, and bevels, preparing textures and subdivision in sculpt mode.

In part seven of the character modeling series, learn to model shoes by building toe caps, soles, tongues, eyelets, and laces using extrude, bevel, and solidify techniques.

Perform base UV unwrapping for a Blender anime character by masking the base, marking seams, and unwrapping a 2048 texture map with a checker preview.

Explore Blender texture painting for base color by applying an emission material, creating image textures, and painting eyes, teeth, gums, mouth, and hair with fill tools and color palettes.

Create a skin base texture in Krita by shading with soft brushes, blending shadows and highlights, while using reference palettes and layered color blends for clavicle and facial details.

Watch a time-lapse of texturing for costume and hair on the base character model, as the series approaches its end with upcoming material setup and basic lighting.

Set up Blender materials with a cel-shaded skin shader using diffuse via the SDF shader to RGB and color ramp. Duplicate for other parts and add eye gloss and emission.
