This tutorial covers the design process I go through when creating a character for a client. I walk you through several different design iterations before taking one to final. I talk about adding color to a black and white sketch and what I think about when designing a character for a client.

Most of the video is in real time, but there are a few parts that are sped up by 4-6x. The actual painting time was around 4 hours 45 minutes, so I tried to speed up a few of the more tedious parts.

Now with subtitles!! For downloads, subtitle files will be listed on the download page in addition to the video file. To watch the film with subtitles, open the film with VLC player (free and open source) and select “Add Subtitle File” from the Subtitles menu.
