Course Overview
Learn Cartoon Drawing and Illustration Techniques in Adobe Illustrator.
The right skills for the job!
Are you looking to start your career as a character designer or animator? Are you looking to sharpen up your Illustration skills? In this course, you will learn how to create a 2-D game character without the use of a sketch. I'll walk you through the entire process from start to finish.
The techniques I'm teaching you in this course can be translated over to other Illustration projects as well. By the end of this course, you will learn how to create a stylized game character that has a strong visual presence. I will teach you how to build a color palette that will make sure the character pops off your screen. I will show you how to work with the line of action to develop a fluid gesture foundation which will use to build our character's action pose.
In this course, you will learn:
- how to design a 2-D game character that works across all screens
- how to apply color theory to your game character
- how to build a modular 2-D game character
- how to work with my "Foundation First" approach to character design
- and much more!

In Section 3 #13 I cannot get my brushes in illustrator to create that cell shading effect. What am I doing wrong?

What is there is not badly presented, the only problem is, there is not a whole lot of that. The course boils down to "create Art Brushes and then draw by stacking them on top of one another". While there is nothing wrong with that, compared to what other courses deliver in terms of information, this feels a little thin. Line of action is briefly mentioned and so is reflected light, those are important concepts that students would benefit from learning, but there is very little explanation given on how they work and why the instructor solves them in the particular way he does. I also bought the other Illustrator Courses by this instructor and I hope they will stack up in some way to become a more fulfilling package.
