Crystal clear in fact. Learning character coloring and painting effectively means having information presented in a logical and coherent way. The Character Coloring and Painting Course is modular by design, easy to grasp, and allows you to learn in a well paced, structured way. Engage in the course chronologically, then revise each module at your leisure. Grasp concepts faster than you ever have before – there’s no fluff here.

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, each module’s assignments have been designed to both reinforce theory, and feel rewarding. I’ve taken the core of Color and Light theory, and purpose built each assignment to help you rapidly progress, and you’ll see the difference in your own work almost immediately. Art is about doing, so let’s get started.

Whether you want to learn to color and paint characters for games, comics, cartoons, manga, animation and more, this course has you covered. I'm not teaching you a 'method' or a 'way' to color and paint, I'm teaching you to be a fundamentally good character colorist and painter.

This is the second course with Scott Harris.

Scott Harris.

Becaurse you can never go wrong with SCOTT HARRIS!!

eu ja fiz outro curso da character art school, realmente eles sabem oque estão ensinando, scott harris tem dominio e esperiencia no que está falando.

Scott Harris really breaks down the essentials in an efficient and easy to understand way.

Thank you Scott Harris and Udemy for making it possible.

Alot of things too do and learn from this would totaly recommend I like Scott Harris' teaching style because he get straight to the point and doesn't ramble on about things that don't apply.

Scott Harris focuses on using minimal tools (a handful of custom brushes he provides for several different programs) to create polished work.

Scott Harris is an excellent teacher and I cannot recommend this course enough.

It was a good match because I love drawing Really Good Course, Really great for all levels of Artists as well, Instructor Scott Harris does understands the science of how many things come to work in painting, not just the techniques or skill, it was worth the time and money.

Less content than I expected but taught me most of what I need to know.

very knowledgeable teacher and you'll learn what you need to know to draw and paint properly.

As mentioned in the intro course, the videos are direct and leave you with exactly what you need to know without rambling.

I didn't need to know all about the technology details, I just wanted to see you draw something...

character design

This was just what I needed to learn more about different styles in character design.

Between The character design course and this course, my skills have improved more in the last month than in that 7-8 years.

I have taken his character design course and loved it.

show because is fantastic Excelente yes i was really pleased with it its very in-depth gostei bastante I’ve been looking for a great course to take my digital art to the next level and I believe this is the best course for anyone looking to go from zero to hero in character design Es el segundo curso que hago de esta misma escuela y a pesar de que los cursos parezcan lentos están muy bien explicados y con lo poco que llevo sé que será de calidad IT was good but its kind of boring.

Have already taken 2 entire courses of Scott, his advice on these videos summarizes All the research I made to buy a digital tablet, so I know he knows well of what he's talking about, The Character design drawing took me to a whole new level I couldnt achieve before, and explained the name of things I used to know by experience only.

O curso é bem abrangente e com bastante conteúdo prático, porém a Udemy poderia disponibilizar legenda em português This is the third CAS course I've taken following the Manga and Character Design courses.

This was a brilliant course just what I needed to now create successful character designs.

character drawing

Loving the course so far, great theory and precise concepts all made easy to understand and clear, I did his course on Character Drawing before this.

It was the perfect follow up to the Character Drawing Course, which I had just completed.

Note: I've just started watching the Character Art School: Complete Character Drawing so I would encourage anyone interested in this course, to start with the character drawing course first before moving onto this one.

Like many, I thought art was just talent, but after doing a few exercises from this instructors character drawing series, I understand now that it's about technique, skill, and practice.

Now I just need to reveist the character drawing course (also brilliant) to get the whole thing going on.

Just got here after the Character Drawing course from him as well, and I must say the content and knowledge here are good as it is in the Character Drawing course.

color theory

only 1 lecture in and i have a new-found understanding of color theory Very good match for me, helps take a flat image and make it more lifelike.

Scott explains light, shadow, and color theory as well as anyone I've learned from.

Very good content, a complete guide for beginners because it speaks about all the aspects of producing an art piece, from color theory to post-production, probably the only thing I would change is that I would add a chapter describing business in a real life, how to do a portfolio and what would an enterprise would look for in you, knowing this, you can make the adjustments to reinforce the possibilities of getting hired.

- It got me refreshed and caught up on my color theory practices and what I needed to start including in my work, which was somewhat lacking to this date.
