[Coloso] Visual development 101 by Anh Bui course review

This post was created as part of the Coloso Supporters event. I received no financial compensation; I was only given free access to the following course for review purposes.

It's time to do some character design! Yippee!!

Before starting the exercise, Anh showcased multiple examples of professional character design works that illustrate the core principles covered in previous lessons.

Exaggerating features allows the character designer to convey emotions, personality, and backstory through a character's appearance. A design should allow the audience to be able to get a rough sense of who the character is and what they're about. This is achieved through colors, shape language, silhouette, poses, and attitude.

Anh suggests approaching character design starting from the character's personality first. This will be useful for the upcoming exercise: creating our own character design using everything we've learned so far.

She shows an example using her own work. I decided to use the same prompt as hers - a 19 y/o mage using plants and potions to heal people - and started researching designs for my own character.

I want a character who is cheerful and passionate about her craft. She likes reading and is full of energy. She can be messy or mischievous at times, and is outwardly confident but a bit shy with strangers.

I came up with 3 potential designs. I didn't like my first attempt, as she looked way too young to be 19 asdfhjdl. My second attempt was much better in that regard, but she didn't read as "a mage" at a glance. I built on her attitude and worked on a more cheerful and mage-like design for my third attempt, which ended up being the one I settled on.

After cleaning up the sketch, Anh gives another assignment: drawing more poses for this character that convey her personality and the type of attitude she would have as a character in an animated show.
