LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

This lesson focuses on the refinement phase of character concept art. You will watch the instructor take a fresh look at a work-in-progress and identify exactly what needs fixing. The full video demonstrates his rendering workflow, showing how he paints directly over line art to save time and uses color picking to blend shapes naturally.

You will learn how to balance detail with readability for 3D modelers, specifically when designing accessories like earrings. The instructor also breaks down his approach to adding vibrant color variation to hair and how to maintain a stylized look without getting bogged down in hyper-realistic anatomy. This is a practical look at the "cozy art mode" of rendering where you solidify the design for a professional pipeline.

Stepping away from the canvas is often the best way to improve your work. Leaving a painting on your monitor helps you spot small details to tweak as you walk by the room. We look at using that fresh morning energy to evaluate your rendering and how to keep your hand moving even when you don't feel fully inspired.
