New Course – 2D Game Graphics!
|
Good news! I made it through Game Analysis & Game Design and leveled up to 2D Game Graphics – a 10 week course to learn how to draw art for video games. 🙂 I am really looking forward to all the lectures.
Croquis and Character Design First week and I did already learn many new things. In the first and second lecture we did croquis. It was a interesting study on the feminine human anatomy, and I really felt I learned many new techniques and tricks how to draw in motion. Since I have barely painted any human in my life before it felt at first like a real challenge to sit down from 9:00 – 15:00 (with small breaks of course!) and during 30 – 60 seconds paint all the poses from the model. Later we got 3 – 8 min poses which gave us time to focus on details. “Stressful? YES! – Fun? Absolutely!” 
First Assignment “Create 20 small Character Thumbnails depicting a variety of different designs for the protagonist you are creating in your game/design idea.” GAME: Clash of Heavens – Ancient Mythology – Divine Challenges – 3D Open World
