Digital Character Design and Painting

Digital Character Design and Painting
Delmar Thomson Learning | 2003 | ISBN: 1584502320 | CHM | 354 pages | 27 Mb
Digital Character Design and Painting is really two books in one: it teaches the fundamentals of character design, and the skills, tools, and techniques needed to master digital painting. Character design is all about ideas and how to put those ideas together to create a look and feel for a character. It's about creating a character that elicits a specific emotion from viewers—fear, joy, anger, sadness, etc. Character design does not have a standard creation process, but there are basic principles that can be followed. Digital Character Design and Painting explores these principles and teaches conventional artists how to enhance their skills to bridge the gap between traditional and digital art. All of the fundamentals of character design, from artistic design issues and character development to physical details of the character are explored.

Unlike character design, digital painting is not so much about ideas as it is about the combination of method, technique, and artistic theory. It is about making something that will be viewed in two dimensions imitate three dimensions. Using a variety of practical Painter 7 tutorials, artists learn how to apply traditional painting techniques with digital tools. Details on sketching, color theory, lighting, and texturing are also covered, along with specific techniques for painting trees and foliage, eyes, faces, hair, clothing, and fur.
Using these practical techniques and procedures, artists can learn how to create and beautifully illustrate their own life-like or fantasy characters for games, movies, or other commercial productions.

I introduce the invisible art of camera tracking from the ground up here. So in this tutorial you also get a chance to learn the art of Matchmoving from an introductory level.

Combining computer generated (CG) characters with live-action footage can be a very rewarding experience. It has traditionaly been very difficult to make the digital character realistically seem to be a part of the real world. But now, the cat's out of the bag, and i am going to show how.
