More details

Description
The ability to design a cohesive roster of characters with a common style is essential for a career in concept art in film, animation, and games.
We'll be using Affinity Photo 2 to draw and paint some 2D character designs. Feel free to use Photoshop, Gimp, Procreate, or any other comparable image editing software as long they work with a digital pen tablet.
We're going with a simplified, cartoony style of characters who all belong in a science lab. This will help take the focus away from technical considerations like correct anatomy and proportions. Instead the focus will be on design and the usage of Affinity Photo 2's drawing, masking, painting, texturing, and layering features.
Follow along the class or pick your own theme and set of characters. You'll learn how to create a rough sketch based on the chosen theme and refine your line art before coloring the characters. You'll also get to add some bells and whistles to the characters to make them pop for sharing and presentation.
This course is designed for anyone interested in creating cute, colorful characters. Some familiarity with image editing software will be helpful as I don't go over every button click, shortcut keys, and software feature in granular detail. The aim is to walk you through the steps of creating digital character designs without getting bogged down by the software itself.
You'll learn the principles of a solid workflow for character design using Affinity Photo 2.
Who this course is for:
Creative artists who want to learn digital illustration skills
Beginner digital artists who want to learn a solid workflow for character art
Affinity Photo users who want to know which features help with illustration and design

I'm a 3D Artist and Game Designer with a background in Film and Architecture. I've worked on a variety of game projects published on PC, VR, mobile, and Playstation consoles ranging in scale from Indie to AAA. I've had both 3D Art and Level Design roles. I also make animated short films on the side.
