Over the summer, I have been taking Nate Wragg's second character design course on CGMA and it's been brilliant! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in filling up their portfolio to a more professional standard and learning a new approach to going through the steps involved in character design and model packs.
The course takes you through 8 weeks with one character, exploring poses, facial expressions, turnarounds, story moments and a hero pose. In addition, Nate also gives you feed back to each assignment and 1 hour each week for a live Q&A where he answers pretty much anything you ask him (anything animation related of course!)
The character I came up with was a big rugged fisherman who had a secret passion for theatre performance.
Below is a bunch of sketches I went through on the course. I will be adding all the final work to my portfolio soon, so stay tuned!
And good luck if you choose to take either of his courses!
Love this gillibean. would like to know about your process, deciding shapes and form. :)
