This course is only waiting for your spice(words, imagination, characters you want to create etc.)1 - Ideation & Gathering References First things first! Gather inspiration! Gather all the footage to your work. Keep yourself limited too if you don't limit yourself with the words that you have come up withyou might get lost in the ocean of references. Ask yourself ; - What inspires you ? What would inspire your character design ? - What are the needs of the character to have a soul ? - Where does she/he lives ? How old is she/he/it ? - Which time does she/he belong ? etc. The questions you can possibly ask are endless and builds the guidance to your design.Whatever comes to your mind limit yourself with some words & design choices2 - Sketching & Design Techniques Use your references as you start sketching. You are still asking yourself questions but now the answers can come through your tablet pen, pencil, up to the medium you choose.I have heard this term before 'thinking with the tip of your pencil.' Now we are asking and try to answer them by sketching. While making these sketchings explore as much as you can but also be smart and limit yourself according the info that has given to you or the one that you have made yourself.3 - Exploring & Finalizing the Fist Base Design of the CharacterManipulate your design to explore further. ' Control + T ' is one of your best friend at this point.Use the shortcuts that has given and mix them with your creation to your taste.Before cleaning up the sketch this is a great phase to play with the design and take it to another level.4 - Posing A Time to wake the Frankenstein up!Our imagination & references are also our best friends. You can sketch the pose from your imagination. Also can take a photo/video of yours and select a frame to put on your reference(can be called mood also) board.5 - Posing B Not more of just the same! Now our reference board & internet are our best friends again.Now we can sketch a pose from an example comes from the world of internet. Again up to your liking & your character & your limitations & your design needs & choices.6 - Choosing & Cleaning Up the SketchI know it is hard but be brave! For you shall be the one that chooses(Or maybe your art director would do it for you:)We are now using the Pen tool & various techniques to level up our work. Quality matters more than quantity here. We need to use steady and confident lines.7 - A Way of Coloring System & Mindset for Possible Art Directors Feedback ChangesLuck could be something we can make!

Wax off! Time to shine! Layer options are also our allies.I have showed some of the techniques i have used. Test the colors and layer options as much as you can at this point because it is time finalize our work and exhibit where you need them to. Congrats!If you repeat this cycle of work it will become a second nature to your workflow and you will get even better. Never turn off your brain while working.
