Introduction to Character Design

1  Shapes define the outline of a character. That's why you set up an iconic look and make your character attractive.

2  Color determines who is the hero. Different color choices also impress a character. It plays an important role in deciding who is good and villain.

3  A good character design is when you choose a visual element in a character and exaggerate it. Sometimes, select a cultural element and add it to the design to make it have unique authenticity

4  harmonious

All shapes, lines, colors, patterns and patterns must be put together in an elegant way. Every element used in the design must work together like mutual praise. The balance of visual elements has a visual hierarchy. Think about what visual elements people will see in design. In short, when making characters, it is important to think about how everything is integrated.

5 Expression / posture

Through the visual expression of behavior, quirks and personality, the character can win the hearts of the audience.

week3

Ms. Anis tells us that some photos look good because of grid rules, different movements of lines, contrast, the role of light, etc..

week4

This lecture is about perspective, which explains the perspective theory well. It is very important to create value and give a sense of depth in illustrations.

There are also four types of perspective, 1-point, 2-point, 3-point and 4-5-point (fisheye).
