This class will show you a process used to create a compelling and highly rendered character illustration using photo manipulation and painting techniques. Starting from a specific brief, we will discuss ways of researching ideas and references and creating a sort of road map, then we will move on to create silhouette sketches and tonal arrangements to start fleshing out designs based on research and ideas. And then step by step, we will carefully render the character from colour sketches through to the finished artwork.
