I put myself in students’ shoes and created this curriculum with the belief that the first step is the most important. The theoretical tutorial section, totaling 116 pages, explores essential elements of painting, such as lines, perspective, light, shadow, figure drawing, and movement.
It is followed by a practical section consisting of 23 exercises, allowing you to master the basic processes for character concept art and concept-based character development, drawing hair, skin, and costumes, and lastly, putting the finishing touches on artwork so you can be job-ready.
