Learn to create your own protagonists with no limit but your own imagination
Concept artist J. Alexander Guillen, who specializes in film and video games and has worked for Filmax Animation, Epic Games, and Ubisoft, is adamant that creating a character for concept art is not only about designing their appearance, but also giving them personality. His work is clearly influenced by his dreams, which allow him to create universes and characters with a conceptual imagery based on fantasy.
In this online course, learn to create a character, from the first sketch to the finishing touches, using classic and digital techniques. Get inspired by your imagination and let go of the limits of reality.

Apa yang termasuk dalam kursus ini?
Begin by getting to know Alexander as he talks about his professional career, his work, and his biggest influences. Then dive right into the world of concept art by searching for visual references to help you create your character.
Next, Alexander tells you about the materials he typically uses and shows you how he creates the preliminary sketches, to be scanned and edited digitally later on.
When you're done sketching, start working on your piece in Photoshop. This is where you add the first strokes of color to achieve volume in the shapes.
Finish preparing your illustrations before Alexander teaches you some tips and tricks for putting together a professional presentation for the client.
Once the first draft has been approved, learn to use digital brushes as well as play with light and color to create believable surroundings for your creature. Now it's time to make the final adjustments to your illustration.
To wrap things up, tweak your finished piece and see the importance of stepping back for a few hours in order to assess your creations more objectively.

Tanya Jawab Umum
Concept art involves creating images that capture initial ideas for characters, environments, and objects in video games and films, helping to define the visual style before final production.
This course is aimed at people with some drawing and illustration experience, ideal for intermediate learners wanting to deepen their skills in concept art and character design for film and games.
You’ll need basic traditional drawing supplies (paper, markers, brushes, optional clay) and a computer with Photoshop or similar software for the digital parts.
You’ll learn digital concept art techniques, designing post-apocalyptic and robotic characters, working with references, composition, visual atmosphere, and professional workflows for games and film.
The course covers a full workflow: from gathering references and sketching, to clay modeling, digitizing in Photoshop, and professionally presenting characters and illustrations.
Basic Photoshop skills are recommended since several lessons involve digitizing, layer management, and digital painting techniques.
You’ll learn chiaroscuro, contrast, silhouettes, quick sketching, using references, traditional and digital pre-sketching techniques, shading, and creating volume with light and color.
