Synopsis

Character design is presented here as both an art and a process, covering how to define a new character through physical, mental, psychological and social attributes. The course format introduces core foundations, then develops into sections on storytelling, rendering and building expressions, with each chapter offering an introduction and a short recap to help track progress.

Techniques span pen and pencil methods alongside Procreate screen grabs, supporting both digital and analogue approaches. With its emphasis on drawing and sketching, it is aimed at those creating artwork for gaming, animation, advertising, social memes, cartoons, graphic novels and comic strips.
