Lesson 1 - Style and Characters

caramelwassabi — 2018-01-30 13:24:46 UTC

When it comes to design, it is crucial to have an OC you love that is not too complicated to draw and animate! I would like to see all of your styles, so the first lesson is how to make a reference sheet! if you already know how to make one ...then great! If you don't here is what is typically in them.
- The OC
- Color Pallet
- SHORT bio
- Accessories
You typically use these to maintain a constant design and color to your OC, so be careful! I will be grading these assignments based on consistency points, with exception of shading and color hueing (we will get to that later!)
PLEASE, use the following reference sheet template for grading. DUE THURSDAY

Hi, I have a few questions?
1. Do we use the character ref sheet provided, or make our own?
2. Can I turn in my design on Friday? I don't currently have access to my drawing tablet.

KitterK

2018-01-30 23:43:27 UTC

where should I turn in my character design? I finished it tonight.

Hey

2018-01-31 00:04:45 UTC

It's Milkshakes! Also am I allowed to just make a reference sheet for my persona?

I'm on here!

nightsong101 — 2018-01-31 00:41:06 UTC

Hey, so where do we share our finished assignments? On here, Scratch, or can we post it elsewhere (seperate website, like PaigeeWorld or DeviantArt for example) and then just link it to you?

KitterK and Milkshakes...

caramelwassabi — 2018-01-31 11:16:37 UTC

Yes you may post here, and i will be accepting work on friday. if its posted elsewhere, i may not get it -Petal

Quietstream_Forever — 2018-01-31 18:33:26 UTC

So, I don't know what I should use to make the oc. I don't have any money to buy an art program and don't know any free ones. What should I use?

Quietstream_Forever--

AWya1458 — 2018-01-31 18:51:31 UTC

AWya1458onslow- Well, I do know two programs you can use online :p
https://sketch.io/sketchpad/ https://www.sumopaint.com/ and then there's Scratch.. and MsPaint (Microsoft paint) lel i hope this helps ya

Here it is! (KitterK)

2018-01-31 20:27:50 UTC

Here is the character I made!

greenjdog — 2018-01-31 23:26:06 UTC

If anyone is interested in free art programs, definitely check out http://firealpaca.com or https://medibangpaint.com/en/ They are free and rlly great, they both have stabilizers, layers, blending modes, blending brushes, and a ton of other cool stuff. There definitely the standard for free art programs and definitely better than most paid programs or anything online!

Quietstream_Forever — 2018-02-01 04:14:39 UTC

-Quietstream_Forever- I know the color isn't all the way filled in, it's because of the program I'm using.

2018-02-04 11:31:57 UTC

Sorry, I might have to drop out due to school starting real soon and some of my own, personal projects and goals that I'd like to try complete in my own time. I've got some of the reference sheet done, but have been quite unmotivated lately. I'm really sorry, I want to join and try to improve my art and animation, but feel like I might get left behind. Hope you understand; I'll try and stay as long as I can unless everything becomes too much for me.

CLASS IS CANCELED

2018-02-06 19:35:25 UTC
