Literally everyone is saying how you posted this exactly when they needed this... Honestly, I'm one of them. I've been having trouble drawing orthographs, and--well, here we are.

Maybe if Biko was animated, then his hat could leave an impression for a second or two, but in a comic or illustration, his head would be stuck like that for however long you stare at it... Anyway, Happy New Year!

So unsettling picturing him with "cranberry sauce popped out of the can" head all the time 😂😂

Biko is such a cool character. I love the idea behind him as well as his design.

UPDATE: Dang, we've come a long way since this video! Biko, the main character, is available to give you healing as a plush, only until 11/6/22! Grab it to directly support the development of my animated series Stormfellers! www.makeship.com/products/biko-plush

I've been looking for this exact thing for years. Its crazy this is the first video i found on it

Youre very welcome, thanks for saying so!

Dude, how'd you make this *EXACTLY* when everyone needed it!?

I really don't know if I'm bad at this because I hate it, or if I hate it because I'm bad at this, but as someone who wants to learn 3D and do characters beyond just an illustration, I gotta put in some reps

This is crazy helpful for me because I was just about to start a commission for a reference sheet for my friend’s character! Your art’s amazing dude and I’m glad your channel has an interesting, easy to understand grip on the fundamentals of character design! Wish I found you sooner >_

Dude this is so helpful. I struggle with this so much and your video actually helps.

What a fantastic and helpful video, definitely going to put this to use for some reference sheets I’ve been meaning to do for so long. Brookes, it’s been such a fantastic year of learning thanks to your content. I wish you the absolute best in 2020

Thank you for sharing this on KZread. I needed this before 2020 to really refine my artwork skills to level 1000! Happy new year man. :D

You have taught me so much and have guided my art learning journey, i'm so glad to be going into the new decade with you. Happy new year :)

I really like this. I really want to do character design. I’m trying to still learn how to properly turn a character but I also want to know how to color and shade well using different brushes. Can you do a tutorial on how you color when color a character?

Congrats on another great year! Finishing Parcel was a great achievement. And your re-envisioning of Crash's whole island was fantastic. Best wishes for 2020! 😀

I've found your channel recently in my reccomendations from KZread, and I'm happy that KZread reccomended your channel for me. I like drawing as a hobby, but thanks for these videos with explaining stuff related to character design, they're helping me a lot!

I really enjoy your videos this year, hope to see lots more in 2020.

How do you know what exactly to upload as soon as I start googling stuff!! Ty so much I couldn't find anything useful on this before.

Thanks for a wonderful year! I really needed this video.

Brookes, your content is masterpiece. Thanks a lot...

Ahhhh yes!!! I needed this! Thank you so much.

You did a great job on this video. I love the character Biko he's so cute. This video has helped better understand what I need to do for my character turnaround, which actually I was planning on doing today with one of my characters so I could create a 3D model of him and animate him. Thanks for the video, and all the videos you've done, they are super helpful and awesome, can't wait to see what you make in 2020. Happy New Years :D

I find it pretty useful when you need to fill in flat colours quickly to get a handle on your piece and the colour palette you wanna use. And I'll just fill in any odd gaps from there

Hello could you recommend a size for the sheet plz Thank you :)

can you do a part two with jagged edged characters? I feel it's way harder to visualize characters in 3D when they have many edges

@CharacterDesignForge

4 жыл бұрын

Are you talking about 2d or 3d in that capacity? 3d characters with hard edges are typically easier because you can use those same 3d shapes as boxes and cubes. If theyre incredibly flat, like a Gennedy Cartoon Network type graphical look, the turns are kind of up to interpretation. As long as they look good, there's no real reason to rotate them around from drawing to drawing.

Hi! Just by curiosity, how much time did you spend doing the turn around? Sometimes when we see a speed up video we think "oh, the artist is so fast!!!" and somehow we start to pressure to be that fast even that we know it's a speed up video haha.

@CharacterDesignForge

2 жыл бұрын

Crazy you commented on this, since a new turnaround video is coming soon. I dont really know, speed isn’t super important to me, but I don’t think turnarounds really happen “quick”- they’re a lot of methodical checking and rechecking

*insert thumbs up*

Quick Question: How do you know where to place the lines on the sheet? Like you have horizontal lines touching the eyes and mouth. Do you place those like in between or...I don't know how to explain it in text. Just how do you know where to place the lines on the sheet??

@CharacterDesignForge

Just anywhere you want two things to line up, youll notice i move them a lot during the process!

I've got a question about turnaround presentation. I fell in love with the pencil brushes in csp. I have a bad habit of wrist drawing I'm trying to break and have unsteady hands. I love dirty sketches (I pet the line, but it works for my style.) and it's always how I have drawn. Is using the pencil brushes acceptable for turnarounds in any way or character sheets or should they be inked and flat color or rendered without lines? Is there a right and wrong way to do this?

@efetekky8377

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, definitely! When preparing character sheets for an animation studio, the character sheet needs to act as a reference for the production team/animators to use when animating. It should act as a rulebook for several things. Some character sheets show how to do the lines, while others show rules on adding shadows, color, and light. The reason most character sheets have clean lines, is because the production wants to use this same approach in their cartoon/animation If the animation had messy lines as part of the style, the character sheet could reflect that! Hope this helps
