Description

In this course, you will learn:

• Begin by gathering some inspiration and ideas, then identifying and focusing on what you want to accomplish with your project.
• Then, take out your sketchbook and begin producing by letting your imagination run wild until you have a final image to guide you through the design process.
• It's time to create your character composition now that you've specified the general outlines of your characters.
• Learn how to create structures quickly and easily with Adobe Illustrator, as well as how to create characters in vector form.
• You're ready to start adding finishing touches like clothes, hair, faces, and other personality-enhancing aspects now that you've completed the core aspects of your characters.
