1. Sketching and Gesturing using Simplified Shapes

2. Classic Coloring

3. Base Colors

4. Facial Features

5. Hair

6. The outfit and final Detailing 


In this Citizen course Tim Von Rueden  takes you through the process and mindset of creating an animated character through a focus on shapes and simplification. The focus will be on first gesturing the sketch and proportion and then using simple circle soft-edged brushes to lay out the colors to then refine.

May I ask what brush you used?
Also, what program? 
If it was in photoshop, what would be a good brush for it in paint tool sai, if you know?

CGCookie In reply to Honoro [2014-06-11 16:51:37 +0000 UTC]

This was done in Photoshop CS6 and was done primarily with a soft edge brush and some hard edge brush use for detailing.

for part 3 why did it turn blurry?

CGCookie In reply to In-Retreat [2014-01-20 17:43:47 +0000 UTC]

I removed the outline, leaving online the soft base of colors that were laid out with a soft edge brush. That's why it appears blurry =]

Mega-Minx In reply to In-Retreat [2014-01-18 07:08:54 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure it's because hair should be loose, using a hard base would make it look a bit flat. This is just an assumption, though c:
