What's in Premium?

I'm going to show you how to create a fully unique character from scratch. We will put everything into practice by designing an urban graffiti monkey. I will walk you through my sketching techniques and show you how to use reference images to make your character easily recognizable.

We will start by drawing the head and body proportions. Then we will add clothes and accessories to give the character more personality. I will also go over color theory to help you create strong palettes and use complementary colors. You will learn how to set up light sources for shading, highlights, and shadows. Finally, we will add finishing touches like reflections and borders, and I will explain the best file types for exporting your completed artwork.
