Section 2 You'll dive right into your first character drawings. It's never fun to listen to a bunch of lectures on theory for the first few hours of a course. It's much more fun to actually do. So you'll already be drawing characters by lecture 3. You'll get to draw a male and female character in this section. You can preview this section for free if you want to get a taste of the course. Section 3This section is called Learning The Fundamentals of Character Design because you will be learning everything you need to know in order to build a strong foundation. You'll learn everything from the drawing hierarchy to how line, shapes, and form are used in stages to create character designs.
Section 4Welcome to drawing boot camp. This sections name comes form the fact that you will go through exercises that will strengthen you drawing ability. This includes pencil control, muscle memory, speed control, and pressure control. All of which are extremely important to character design. We call this section drawing boot camp because you'll change after going through it. Section 5Next your going to receive some extremely useful training. This whole section is on drawing the human body. You'll need the ability to draw the human form if your going to create good character designs. Through out this training you will learn how to draw every individual part of the human body from different angles and in different poses. This section breaks down the human body into simple to understand shapes and forms that you can replicate over and over again. And don't worry, you'll learn how to draw the male and the female forms.
Section 6This section is all about how to pose that body that you're now an expert at drawing. In order to create exceptional character designs you need to know how to draw poses that are dynamic and have attitude. You'll learn all the different ways to make a pose dynamic and how to express a characters attitude, emotion, and just give them that appealing look. Trust me. By the end of this section you'll get it like a professional. Section 7The most important part of character design is always telling a story. Here you'll learn how to tell a story through your characters expression. First you need to know how to draw certain expression. Once you've mastered your character expressions you can start mixing and matching eye and mouth expressions to get a wide variety of emotions. Creating good expressions is the secret of the pros. Section 8You probably don't want your characters to be naked and bald so in this section you'll learn all about hair & costume design. Hairstyles and costumes are really what make characters iconic and memorable. So you'll learn all about how to give your character their "Thing" that will distinguish them form other characters. Section 9This section of the course will give you some very practical knowledge and skills in drawing characters in different genres. Character design is broken up into different genres. You'll be taught in-depth how to draw anime, Disney animation, comic, and Pixar cartoon styled characters over the course of 5 lectures. You won't want to miss this section!
Section 10At this point you have acquired all the necessary skills and knowledge to design your own characters from start to finish. So now its time to put it all together. You'll get to watch a two part video of me designing a dragon slayer character from start to finish. This section demonstrates a character being imagined and developed right before your eyes. Theres no better way to learn than to watch others. WHY THIS IS THE BEST COURSE TO BUY.

After my internship was up, I was hired on to build backgrounds and to design props and characters for animation projects.

It was a nice exercise. Got me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to create a character I normally would not make.

By Vi Huynh on 11/7/2020

Some parts r blurry since the camera focuses on his hair and hand. Great lesson tho

By William Barbosa da Silva on 11/7/2020

In this course I feel there are lots of things that it helps anyone to draw better, it third course I'm doing with him I don't regret spending my time here. I just enjoy so much!

By Paulo Roberto Lobo Leite on 11/7/2020

Curso muito bom apliquei alguns exercicios, creio que agora e mais treinar mesmo, o que tenho a reclamar e sobre a legenda gerada automatica tem horas que o que ele fala nao faz sentido a legenda, isso a Udemy poderia melhorar.

By Jason Ribson on 10/27/2020

enjoyed the video, did feel like there was a missed lesson, not sure if there is a pre-req course to this one. However, overall went well, only thing is there was a blurry section of the video.

By Niklas Suslik on 10/26/2020

I think he dives rather quickly in to drawing characters, which is nice, but Im having trouble understanding why he places circles and lines at specific places without much of an explanation. Maybe a slower pace and a more detailed foundation would be preferable. But I definitely like the differences in the characters hes designing. Seems like a wide array of ideas. The course seems promising.

By Ashleigh on 10/22/2020

I enjoy learning about art and it is helping me understand it more so I am able to do my own animation in the future. This course is very helpful.

By Goraksh prabhudessai on 10/18/2020

This course was and is amazing, you get so much to learn

By Ruth Isabel Aoanan on 10/13/2020

So far, I'm really enjoying it! The only downside is when the instructor's head was in view and the camera was focusing on the head more than the drawing, so it was a bit difficult to follow the instructor and the lesson. Thankfully, it wasn't during the whole lesson.

By Linda Brouwer on 10/12/2020

It's really focused on beginners, the content is a lot of watching this guy draw a thing for 10-20 min while he talks around that and repeats himself a lot. It feels like he's just winging it and didn't prep the content of his lectures before recording them, which is a shame because there is a lot of good stuff in there, it just is very boring to listen to someone repeat it in different ways over and over. I don't want to learn how to draw different perspectives/body parts (poorly) explained for almost 10 hours, I want to design my characters. Take a couple of character examples and design them with us, putting your lectures about pose and line and shape and 'all that good stuff' on that structure, because yes, we are gonna run into that, and we like to see how you tackle that ON CHARACTERS, not on loose random pieces you find and decide to record yourself drawing.
