How to do character design
As an art tutor, I sometimes get questions on how to become a character designer. There is one thing above all you need to learn - good drawing skills. Without such skills, you might have great ideas in your head, but won't be able to sketch them on paper or on a computer screen. A good character designer should know constructive drawing, perspective, anatomy for artists, have good tonal rendering skills and so on. Learning such skills is no different than learning skills for realistic figurative drawing, for example. The basic education is the same. Only after you have a strong drawing foundation, you may decide on deviating your skills into the area of your interest - character design, animation, illustration, graphic design, realistic or hyper-realistic drawing, etc. Some beginners think that to become a character designer they only need to learn how to design characters. This is an essential part of education, but it is only one part. You need much more than that and this is what we can help you with in the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course
