Immersive Eastern Aesthetics, Dynamic Character Design by Kitune

Coloso’s first Eastern-style character class with Kitune teaches you how to stop drawing stiff stand-arounds and start building characters that feel alive. You work from shapes and perspective to poses, sketches, color, and final turnarounds built for real IP work.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Design Eastern-style faces, heads, and half-body portraits with clear personality
• Build dynamic poses using shapes, perspective, and silhouette
• Direct the viewer’s eye with composition and movement
• Develop sketches into full character concepts from 2D to 3D thinking
• Color with Eastern aesthetics and handle materials like fabric and accessories
• Create commercial turnarounds, character sheets, and splash art

✅ Requirements

• Skills: Basic drawing fundamentals, familiarity with digital painting workflow
• Tools: Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop for PSD files, drawing tablet
• Hardware: PC or tablet setup capable of running painting software smoothly

📝 Description

This class skips heavy anatomy lectures and gets practical. Kitune shows how to read the body as shapes and silhouette first, then push that into perspective, action, and screen direction. You learn paper and cube folding tricks to test poses fast, so a boring standing pose turns into something with tension and weight.

From there you move into real production thinking. That means character turnarounds, orthographic views, and character sheets you can actually hand to a client. You also work through sketch development, Eastern aesthetics in color and materials, and how to keep your personal style while hitting what the market picks.

The workflow is hands-on the whole way. You get original PSD files, two final artwork PSDs, PDF materials, and a Clip Studio Paint brush list to follow along stroke by stroke. By the end you are not just drawing pretty faces — you are building a full splash art piece with back view, details, and presentation that reads as professional IP work.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Beginners who want to learn character design for commercial or creative work
• Basic learners who want to create a stronger screen through movement and composition
• All illustrators who want to expand their style through Eastern-style design
