I’m excited to announce that my new character design course is now available at: https://www.howtodrawcomics.net/the-making-of-e-course
Comic Book Character Design: The Making of ‘E’ reveals the entire creation process for a sci-fi, punk character sheet that I drew, designed, inked and colored from scratch.
Over 19 Lectures you’ll get a full in-depth demonstration that breaks down every aspect of the character’s creation, along with accompanying assignments to help you put everything you learn into action, along with all the Photoshop Files and Brushes used throughout the course.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you get the course:
• Establish the proportions, pose and placement of your characters with the mannequin model.
• Draw the underlying anatomy of your character so that you can accurately define the shape of their body and fit the costuming around it.
• Present the same character consistently from multiple angles.
• Establish a lighting scheme so that you can shade the forms throughout your character correctly.
• How and where to drop in shadows throughout your character design.
• Use fine-lined hatches to render form.
• Use contrast to emphasize key areas of interest.
• Properly render a variety of materials so that they look distinct from one another.
• Ink the contours of your character design with slick, sharp and energetic line art.
• Enhance the readability of your design with tonal values and contrast
• Compose a pleasing color scheme
• Build up the forms within your character using multiple lighting passes to give them increased depth and dimension.
• Use base colors as selection masks.
• Use adjustment layers to tweak the hue, contrast, saturation and brightness of your colors
• Add warm and cool tones to your lighting so that it comes across as more realistic.
• Use reference images to inform the design and make your characters look more convincing.
• How to energize your drawings with gestural line work that creates a sense of movement.
I’ve taught character design in the classroom for almost a decade, and seen just about every possible mistake you can make along the way. I want to help you avoid many of them by giving you a straight forward, definitive guide that’ll take you through the whole process. That includes the drawing and design of the character, along with inking and coloring so that you can give them a professional, eye-catching presentation.
