Description
In this course I’ll be taking you through my general thought process when designing characters. Starting with their personalities, then bringing in visual elements that will make the character believable, using simple shapes as my foundation, the rough sketch, the inking stage and finally adding colour and shadows!
I’ll be conducting this course using Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom tablet – but if you’d rather follow along using traditional materials, the core teachings in this course can be applied to other mediums as well.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to learn cartooning using an easy to follow step-by-step process
