What’s inside?
1: Getting Started with Adobe Illustrator
We begin with the essentials, learning how Illustrator works and how vector graphics differ from pixel-based artwork. You'll discover why vectors can scale infinitely without losing quality, making them perfect for professional animation and design.
2: Understanding the Character Design Pipeline
Learn the professional step-by-step process used in animation studios, from defining a character’s personality and purpose to sketching rough concepts that explore shape, style, and proportions.
3: Using Shape and Color to Tell a Story
Discover how shapes influence perception, circles for friendliness, squares for strength, triangles for energy or danger. You’ll also learn how to choose colors that communicate mood, emotion, and character relationships.
4: Creating Your Final Character Design
Turn your sketches into clean vector artwork using Illustrator’s most important tools, including the Pen Tool, Shape Builder, Pathfinder, and Layers.
5: Coloring and Finishing Touches
Choose a consistent color palette, add highlights or shadows where needed, and finalize accessories and details without overcomplicating the design.
6: Preparing Your Character for Animation
Break your character into separate parts, including the head, arms, legs, eyes, and more, by organizing them into clean layers, ready to be imported into animation software like Adobe Animate.
By the end, you'll have a fully designed 2D vector character built from a simple sketch, organized professionally, and ready for animation. And the best part? You don’t need advanced drawing skills to start, just a basic sketch and the motivation to create.
The brand new course launches this Tuesday with further details to follow.
