Character Design Step by Step: Pen & Ink + Photoshop Demo

Video Description

See a demo of sketching an original character design, starting with pencil sketches to brainstorm, the inking process with a dip pen with India ink, and Photoshop to add color. Topics include discussing the importance of writing your own original stories in order to inspire original character designs. See how the personality and narrative of a character develops from scratch, and how story affects decisions on the development of the character. Demo led by Art Prof Guest Teaching Artists Julie Benbassat and Cat Huang. 🍎ART PROF SERVICES: https://artprof.org/services/ 💼Portfolio critiques: https://artprof.org/art-school/purchase-a-portfolio-critique/ 📞Artist calls: https://artprof.org/pro-development/purchase-an-artist-call/ ✍️Artist doc editing: https://artprof.org/art-school/bfa-programs-art-school/artist-docs/ 🍏Lectures by Prof Lieu: https://artprof.org/about/lectures-training/ ❤️SUPPORT ART PROF https://www.patreon.com/artprof ❤️MAKE A ONE TIME DONATION https://www.paypal.me/artprof https://account.venmo.com/u/artprof 🍊PREMIUM WORKSHOPS https://artprof.org/learn/premium-courses/premium-workshops-schedule/ 🚂PREMIUM TRACKS https://artprof.org/learn/premium-courses/premium-tracks-schedule/ 🎞️SPONSOR A VIDEO https://artprof.org/learn/sponsor-a-video/ ✔️SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/c/ClaraLieu?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ GET ART PROF MERCH! https://art-prof.creator-spring.com/ 🖼️PURCHASE OUR ORIGINAL ART https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtProfProjects 🎨JOIN THE ART PROF DISCORD SERVER http://discord.gg/artprof CONNECT WITH US 🎵https://www.tiktok.com/@artprof?lang=en 🌺https://www.instagram.com/art.prof/ 🌻https://www.instagram.com/artproffamily/ 🐽https://twitter.com/claralieu 🐸https://www.twitch.tv/art_prof TIME STAMPS 00:00 Opening 00:04 What is character design? 00:56 Diversity in people 01:35 Challenges in character design 02:35 Characters & spaces 03:13 Life drawing from nude models 03:32 Searching for silhouettes 03:55 Starting with an original story 04:47 Brainstorming & sketching the boy 08:53 Reference images 11:19 Brainstorming & sketching the girl 12:20 Facial expressions & gesture 15:22 Pencil sketch for the design 16:55 Ink drawing materials & setup 17:16 Inking with a quill pen 18:16 Adding color with Photoshop 23:03 Bloopers ART SUPPLIES IN THE TUTORIAL India ink: https://amzn.to/2MWfRfq Watercolor brushes: https://amzn.to/2I9QK8g Tombow drafting pencil: https://amzn.to/2Sd2L41 Strathmore Bristol board: https://amzn.to/2ThXup7 Quill nib: https://amzn.to/2GVrxiT MATERIALS PROVIDED BY Tombow: https://www.tombowusa.com/ Strathmore: https://www.strathmoreartist.com/home.html ART PROF PODCAST Available on Spotify & iTunes! https://open.spotify.com/show/69k5OT267xpXodcCh810fa https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/art-prof/id1523194260 ART PROF REFERENCE PHOTO COLLECTION Download high resolution reference photos for free! https://www.flickr.com/photos/189561381@N07/albums ART PROF STAFF PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/user/gco4r8v6899ekhsek6mllywd1 Clara Lieu was an Adjunct Professor at the Rhode Island School of Design from 2007-2020.
