Digital Techniques in Character Design by Randy Bishop

In this course you can enjoy the advice and experiences provided by Randy about the creation and design of the character. The relevance of the sketch, control of the line, how to add layers and how to be balanced, give character aspect and character or how to redraw and minimize errors by redefining the sketch.

We will attach great importance to clothing and color. We can appreciate the importance of clean and clear lines in order to give the drawing the feeling that it is traditional, even if it is a work developed with digital tools. Because of this, we will consider the use of certain brushes to give a more natural appearance to the character. This aesthetic and finishing effect is very relevant to Randy, in all his works.

We will see the correct definition and we will explore our ability to better understand and overcome the difficulty in drawing clothes and fabrics, especially in the texture of folds. As well as the study and better understanding of the drawing of the hair in the characters.

We will implement the use of tools to distort, distort or blur; We will carry out the control of lights and shadows, games with the concave effect or the study of the color of the skin, paying special attention to its multitude of variations.

We will see how the control of the sources of light affects and how to color in general or how it is convenient to fill the bottom, taking into account the filters that we will use later and from which tools. Nor should we overlook the importance of the lines of perspective and the inking process.
