Course Overview
From Concept to Finished Painting
In this Course you will learn How to Create a Fantasy Art Character from the rough sketch all the way to the finished paint work. We start with the drawing process and I explain how to make changes to the concept and not get too worried about everything being perfect in the beginning. There are lots of ways to edit the work and keep pressing forward within Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint.
We will then cover how to lay in the base paint work and use that to create and save our selections. You will learn how to use the layers to aid in your painting process, as well as how to work in a non-destructive approach.
Once the foundational information is in place we will begin to apply our digital painting effects with a variety of brushes. ( You will get access to all the brushes I use in this Course. )
You will also learn how to create and apply a texture effect for the chain mail on the characters armor. We will be using the "Distort" and "Mesh Transformation" features to accomplish this.
Through this course you will learn how to use : Layers and Groups, Combine Modes ( Blending Modes ), Custom Brushes, Hard and Soft Edge Shadows, Layer Masks, Quick Masks, Blending Brushes, Tonal Correction, Mirrored Windows, as well as General Drawing and Painting Techniques.
This course is 9 Hours and 17 Minutes total run time. 35 Individual Lessons.
You get the Layered Art Files and the Custom Brushes to work along with.
I am here if you have any questions or feedback for me to make this a better Course for everyone. So please feel free to let me know!

Lots of great tips and information in a well presented way. Sometimes a little quick but you can rewatch. Would have liked another character as only one is a bit limiting. Maybe another one just done to the point of finished line work? Overall, I enjoyed the course and got a lot from it. I’d recommend it to all levels of digital artist. Hop here’s a follow up with another character and maybe using the latest version of CSP.

Could not have been any better! Very detailed work, with every step super well explained! Had to go back a few times, but that was on me! :D Since you were asking for suggestions, if you did not already do that, can you do a course for Clip Studio Paint around the topic of fantasy creatures/animals? Or maybe focused more on the "little folk", halflings and such. :)

I'm an illustrator and was searching for a course, to do with Clip Studio on Udemy, as the courses, about the software, on their site, are very mediocre. However this is a good course to anyone using CP and interested in concept character design.
