About This Class
Learn to give that Color pop to your Lineart, making your Dynamic Character shine it's way through!
This Class is suited for any level of Drawing, either if you want to up your Character Design skills or to learn some of the basics.
For the Class, you'll need a Digital Painting software (You can also just use a 30 day trial of Photoshop or Clip Studio) and I recommend a Drawing Tablet, although it's not strictly necessary!Â
I'll be using Manga Studio with my drawing tablet but you're free to use whatever you feel more used to since the important thing to do here is just practice.
Master how to color your character in your digital illustrations quickly and easily.
At the end of this class, you'll be able to create more Fluid characters with Dynamic poses that Stand Out!
My previous Class on Gesture Drawing is LIVE below! - I recommend checking that one out before going into Digital Painting and Digital Coloring.
