Course Overview
Over the last ten years, I’ve worked on some of the most ambitious titles in the industry. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that good character design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about clarity, functionality, storytelling, and adaptability to production constraints.
This course is built to help you internalize those principles. Whether you’re aiming to work in games, animation, or film, I want you to leave with a method you can trust — not just a style, but a structure.
I’ll walk you through the exact process I use in studio: from breaking down a narrative brief, building shape language, pushing silhouettes, working anatomy into design choices, and developing gear and costuming that feels both unique and believable.
You’ll also see how I manage feedback, organize my layers, prep handoff sheets, and handle last-minute changes — the real stuff no one talks about.
By the end of this course, you’ll have all the tools to create a professional-level character concept, and more importantly, a thought process you can apply to any brief.”*
