Digital painting tutorial a noble man. In this tutorial, I will show you a step by step digital painting along with detail instruction. This is the usual process of how I create a character for a fantasy type game.
This illustration is another one that I did for a big client. Usually I will receive description from client for each character concept illustration. This character assignment, I have to design a somber male human baron who wears a nobleman’s clothes and a dark brown cloak. He has light skin and dark, thick hair, as well as pronounced eyebrows and a goatee. He should look like a bad guy with a terrible secret.
First thing I usually do is sketch a rough character using the description as a starting point. If the project is big and I have more free time, I will create a lot of variations. If not or if it is the subject I already familiar with, I will just dive right in. In this tutorial, I am going to show you the drawing and painting process of what I usually do for creature design. Again I would strongly recommend that you focus values first then the rest will follow.
Thanks again for all the kind comments and support. Hopefully this tutorial will help you somehow.
