Designing a character is a broad concept and goes beyond just the illustration process. Character design starts long before you think about putting pencil to paper; there is a process of conceptualization in order to design everything that surrounds your character. Jordi Ros, Mexican illustrator and designer, knows this process inside and out and will share his expertise with you in this course.
You will learn to design characters: from the ideation of a solid concept to the illustration. Then you will learn how to best to present it for personal or professional projects. You will develop a complete, but flexible, methodology focused on the design of characters in any of its applications: animation shorts, comics and even collectible figures.
Description
You will begin by getting to know Jordi Ros' work, his professional career and his influences in the field of characters design.
You will learn the process of pre-design; researching and drafting (the most important professional pairing behind all of your work) to create moodboards with an organized and structured layout in order to create characters.
Then you will create the basis of your character: a template in which you can reiterate and change depending on the action and situation in which you are in. This will help you to streamline the design process.
Jordi will show you how to adapt your characters, and all the content generated around them, into a professional presentation format with descriptions, annotations and graphic design elements that will help your character come alive.
