Design your ultimate 2D game characters with Inkscape! (Udemy.com)

The course is great for beginners to get started with character design! After this course, I would recommend trying out creating characters yourself to get into more advanced designs.

Really nice course! Professor explains very well and everything detailing the process of making every character! I highly recommend watch the videos first to focus on every detail of the process of making the character, and next trying do yourself! That's what I've done! Thank you professor!

It's very illustrative, with a lot of tips that shows with some simple concepts and operations in Inkscape, which allow me to create and customize a diversity of characters. Liked very much and I recommend, if you as me, know little about Inkscape and want to try and create your own characters design!

It's a great combination of combining practice with theory. I have to pause to do my own details & fix my mess ups, but it's smooth flowing, good food for thought. There are plenty of details & ideas provided to consider when trying to create a character. Not just "do this & this and this does that," but actual workflows and considerations that make a difference later on in your own productivity, character originality, "believability," & more.

I just finished the course over the course of a few days off and on. The course says this is not a beginners course but I would argue that it absolutely is a beginners course. I felt that the course was just okay. Through the course you create a few basic characters with very little details. I feel the course would benefit a lot if the instructor showed you how to do some nice shading besides some minor gradients on the sides of a few heads. The instructor says they will tell you all the keys and actions they take and he mostly does but sometimes its a little late after the action was already performed so it makes it a little hard to follow. Also sometimes I wished that things were zoomed in just a little bit more so I could see things a bit more clearly. If you have some Inkscape and or character experience you might want to look for something more in depth.

A very helpful course for people who already have some basic knowledge in Inkscape, who want to draw cartoonish looking game characters. Although Inkscape is not an animation tool, the course shows a practicable way to nevertheless create an animation sequence for a spritesheet. The techniques are shown on a ninja, robot, skeleton and warrior like character, but are easily adaptable to one's own imaginations.

Mr. Szep is very good at not only showing the steps for building a character, but letting us see his process, which for me is the most interesting part. He shows us that it is not a matter of mechanically churning out body parts; the best part is taking a look at what you have created and editing it on the fly to make it better. His videos can be viewed many times, and you will glean something from them each time that will help you improve your process.

Great tutorial: detailed, explained. Tutor shows his workflow and makes good points and advices. If you are looking for introduction into character design for games or animations , this is course for you. Thanks Istvan!

Excellent course! This is my second course I've taken by the instructor István. I had no prior knowledge to drawing/illustrations whatsoever, but he manage to both teach me and inspire me! I now use Inkscape almost everyday, from drawing funny characters to drawing flowcharts.

Extremely easy to follow even for a beginner or a terrible artist such as myself. He shows you several useful shortcuts to use while working on your art, which is definitely better than getting lost in menus. The character creation is simple, flexible and bone-based. He even shows you how to modularize & animate in Inkscape.
