Tutsplus - Illustrating a Character for Fantasy or Sci-Fi

Illustrating a character for fantasy or sci-fi is fun, but challenging. If your illustration doesn't tell a story, then it won't have the maximum impact it deserves. So in this course, digital artist Andy Griffiths will provide you with a set of tools to help you to avoid clichés and build a portfolio of original work that will impress clients and stand out from the crowd with potential employers. Using Manga Studio, you will learn the importance of including storytelling elements in your artwork, the power of shape and silhouette, how to generate multiple concepts, and how to use camera angles and lighting to create a sense of drama to your illustrations.
