Inject life and energy into your stale and lifeless drawings! This is part two of a three part series on the fundamentals of character design! In this series I share with you all that I learned about character design in art school. In part one you learned how to construct a solid and interesting character design. In this class, you will learn all about gesture and expression. You will be putting your hero and villain character designs from part one into interesting and dynamic poses. In the next and final class of this series you will finally take them to finish with color and line art. By the end of this series you will have all the tools you need to create amazing designs and to tell powerful stories!
In this second class in my series you will learngestureandexpression. Why would you spend so much time designing beautiful characters only to put them in stale and boring gestures? You will learn how gesture is the designer’s acting, and how you can shine on the stage of design. Bring your designs to life with compelling acting, and learn how to make any pose balanced and grounded.
What we’ll be covering:
