Design and Color Characters with Nature-Inspired Color Palettes on Clip Studio
Digital Drawing Class with
Artist, BF
WHAT IS THIS CLASS ABOUT?
Your everyday walk on the same street doesn't mean you see the same thing every time. There are always special moments that we want to keep in a safe place. I have been letting my original characters walking around in my neighborhood. Once you add a character to the background, the illustration becomes alive and tells its own story. Where is your special place? Let your character live the place and see what story your character tells.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?
If you want to design and color your original character and are fond of nature-inspired colors, this class will be perfect for you! Did you get just started with digital drawing or using Clip Studio? Don't worry! This class is for beginners who want to upskill their drawing skills, including character drawing, perspectives, colors, and final rendering.
