Free Download Schoolism – Fundamentals of Expressive Character Design
Wouter Tulp | Duration: 7:10 h | Video: H264 1912x1088 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 3,55 GB | Language: English
Character designers are able to visually communicate so much about a character's personality through designs that are expressive, gestural, and full of life. This course focuses on the fundamentals needed to create expressive characters and will provide you with a skill set with which you are able to create volume, dynamics and expressiveness to your character designs.
The three main topics we'll focus on throughout the course are shape, volume and gesture, which are the main techniques we'll use to bring our characters to life, but we will also cover topics like how shapes can affect the dynamics of a design, fundamentals of perspective, understanding 3D space on a 2D surface, and basic body construction. Shape, volume and gesture are analyzed in separate exercises, so we'll spend ample time on each topic individually to ensure we develop a clear understanding of how these principles work. Along the way, we'll start combining them to bring simple objects and, ultimately, our characters to life!

Terryl Whitlatch | Duration: 8:43 h | Video: H264 1920x1080 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 1,37 GB | Language: English
From the saber-toothed cat to the common house cat, felines have roamed the earth for millions of years and I created this course for us to explore all of the fascinating characteristics of these creatures from an anatomical perspective. The best way to understand anatomy is to simply dive in and draw it out, so in each lesson, I'll be guiding you through the exercise as you draw along with me to complete either the surface, skeleton, or musculature of felines in various poses while referencing anatomy.
I've provided all of the reference files you will need to be able to effectively complete each exercise while also being a great resource for you to go back to to give you a better understanding of feline anatomy. This course contains lots of bonus content as Bobby Chiu and I discuss topics like the aspects of the feline, tips on creating an effective design (realistic and imaginary), how I apply these techniques to my other creature designs, and much more throughout each lesson.
By the end of the course, not only will you be able to draw realistic felines but you will come away with a vast understanding of feline physiology that you can refer to when designing original cat-like creatures of your own.
