Learn to model your artwork!

CLASS PROJECT FILES DOWNLOAD LINK

This course will enable you to model your own artwork, but for this class we will be going through a simplified version of this character. We will cover all the techniques used to make the final product and I will cover texturing him in a follow up course.

This course is NOT intended to be a step by step process on how to make this particular character. Rather my goal is to teach you the techniques needed to make your own artwork.

There will be timelapse sections in this course where I explain the techniques then fast forward through the process to the next technique. This is to keep the course at a reasonable length and to focus on the fundamentals of modeling. If you want to make this character step by step. I’ve included a link to a full 4.5 hour recording of me modeling this character with keyboard shortcuts turned on. I’ve also included a trace layer in the project file. This is my model with the wireframe turned on and opacity turned down so you can follow along by trying to copy and trace my model if you would like to learn that way

This class will walk you through the following:
