Your Journey from Sketch to Stunning Visual

This course is a comprehensive guide that will take you through the entire process of designing a character for video games or other media. Starting with a blank canvas in Photoshop, you'll learn how to conceptualize and develop your character until it's ready to be showcased as promotional art. Here's what you can expect to achieve:

  • Conceptualization: Learn the art of thumbnailing and turning your ideas into visual sketches.
  • Development: Take your design from rough concept to a fully detailed, front and back character view, including costumes and equipment.
  • Character Development: Explore your character's backstory and personality, creating design sheets that capture expressions, passive poses, and action moments.
  • In-Game Costume Design: Develop the in-game costume and equipment, understanding how it will look and function within the game environment.
  • Exploration of Character Movement: Create basic thumbnails or keyframes to visualize your character's movements during gameplay or combat scenes.
  • Final Render: Master the technique from initial sketch to a polished, full-colour render of your character, complete with lighting and special effects.

What You’ll Learn 📚

  • Initial Design Sketches: Transforming rough ideas into detailed thumbnails.
  • Character Rotation & Detailing: Crafting a compelling view from all angles.
  • Design Sheets: Creating the essence of your character through expressions, poses, and actions.
  • In-Game Costume Design: Making your character's outfit and gear realistic within the game world.
  • Character Movement Exploration: Visualizing how your character will move in dynamic ways.
  • Finishing Techniques: Elevating your design to a professional level with colour, composition, and finishing touches.
