I’ve been doing this for over a decade now and my career has taught me some sure fire ways to push any character concept painting to the next level and that’s what I want students to take away. We’re going to make your portfolio stand out from the pack - let’s turn good into great!.
  • This course is designed for character artists who already feel like they know the basics but want to rise up to much higher levels. We’ll do six full character projectscovering a wide variety of genres and challenges and I’ll show some incredibly cool and easy to master rendering techniques.

We’ll dive into all of the concepts and theories that guide great character design and you’ll learn all of the skills, habits and mindsets that really elevate those pro-level portfolios that get picked by clients..
