World of Color – Using Color to Design a Character

/

Release date:2022

Author:Ira Marcks

Skill level:Beginner

Language:English

Exercise files:Yes

A unique class using color theory to inspire character design.

This course starts with a look at how artists (of all kinds) put color to use. Then, a brief study in what makes cartoon color so unique. Once our mind gears are turning, we’ll jump into Photoshop CC with a class project that will give you the tools and techniques necessary to bring more vibrancy to your drawings.

Here are the topics I’ll be covering:

  • A brief history of color and art
  • A look at how color communicates
  • The fundamentals of using color in cartooning
  • Planning for color while sketching and inking
  • Block coloring in Photoshop CC
  • Refining the hues, saturation and value of an image
  • Color lighting techniques (line color and rim light)

All you’ll need for this class is a basic understanding of Adobe Photoshop CC (most older versions will work too).
