Stylized Character Design

The ability to experiment, to evaluate the result and to build based on what we have created is an exceptional skill for any creative designer.

In this tutorial you are going to learn how to create a 3D prototype of a stylized character in Zbrush and then how to  create several variations with which you can improve it and give it an even more unique look.

Topics covered:

• Creating a quick and efficient 3D prototype in Zbrush.
  
• Interpreting 2d design as 3d.
  
• Achieving balance, good rhythm and conveying weight.
  
• How to stylize using caricature and abstraction.
• Foundation design theory and tools like "signal vs noise".
• Creating variations in Photoshop by overpainting.
  
  

Basic knowledge of Zbrush is recommended.
