Learn how to add beautiful color, stylization and linework to your character designs! This is final class in a three part series on the fundamentals of character design! In this series I share with you all that I learned about character design in art school. In part one you learned how to construct a solid and interesting character design. In the second class, you learned all about gesture and expression. In this third and final class of the series you will finally take them to finish with color and line art. By the end of this class, you will have all the tools you need to create amazing designs and to tell powerful stories!

In this third class in my series you will learn about linework and color. There is so much more that you can communicate to a viewer about your characters with the colors you choose. And by intentionally using linework you can take a mediocre sketch and turn it into to a beautiful piece of art.

What we'll be covering:

Line weight and its different applications
How to create a hierarchy in your lineart
Digital and traditional supplies for lineart
Stylization
Lineart tips and tricks
Basics of palettes and color schemes
How to polish with shading, texture and patterns
Watch a demonstrations to help you better understand the material

I will do a demonstration of adding color and lineart to my hero and villain character designs at the end of the class.

Your assignment is to also bring your hero and villain character designs to completion with color and linework!

Share your color thumbnails or works in progress pictures in the Discussion tab if you want feedback and/or critique!

Please share your character design gestures and their silhouettes in the project gallery.
