Why You DON’T have to HATE Your Old Art Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-10-28 | For most beginner to intermediate artists, there’s kind of an expiration date on how long we’re proud of a piece of art we made. It could be minutes, it could be months, and the hope is that as you improve that time gets to be a little longer. What does it look like when you revisit a piece you're relatively happy with, and use everything you've learned since?

You Finish Designing The Character That I Started Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-07-29 | Last time on Character Design Forge, we got all hyped up on creating Base Characters and ended up designing, 3D printing, and casting a character of our own.

The Fascinating World of Base Character Designs Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-07-08 | We talk about Character Design a ton, on a channel called Character Design Forge, but often it’s about the specifics. The Mario, the Mickey Mouse. The individual characters for specific purposes and stories. This video is one I’ve wanted to make forever though, because on the other hand, it covers a wide variety of examples, through different mediums and formats. One thing unites all of them, though. There’s a base, a default, a starting point, that can then be repeated over and over. What makes a good base, and at the end, can we make one ourselves? One that other artists, like perhaps even yourself, could use?Check out the Brand New Shop: http://brookeseggleston.com/shopDownload or Grab Your own Labko: http://brookeseggleston.com/labkoGrab the new Biko's Backpack for July: http://patreon.com/bageldenizenTake the Learn Character Design Course: http://learncharacterdesign.comBrookes Eggleston On Social:Twitter: http://twitter.com/bageldenizenInstagram: http://instagram.com/bageldenizenTwitch: http://twitch.tv/bageldenizen
30 Drawing Tips from 30 Paintings Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-06-18 | I set out one of the longest and most difficult challenges I’ve ever undertaken, to paint a new digital illustration, featuring one of my characters, every month.

That's Biko, and he's available to give you healing as a plush, only until 11/6/2022! makeship.com/products/biko-plushSure, Aesthetic COULD be vaporwave, digitally artifacted pink sunsets with an 80’s motif, it could be odd liminal spaces of abandoned malls from the 90s, or washed out pastel colors surrounded with plant life and accented with gold, it just, doesn’t HAVE to be at all? At any point or time when someone claims that something IS aesthetic or something is THEIR aesthetic, it’s because it connects with what feels like their identity or a prevailing undercurrent of mood that speaks to them. Aesthetic is a BROAD, almost too broad to effectively get anything practical out of, subject. But instead of getting lost in the philosophical, let’s try to figure out how to make your work give people the kind of value they’re looking for.Grab the new Biko's Backpack for May: http://patreon.com/bageldenizenSignup for the newsletter at: brookeseggleston.comTake the Learn Character Design Course: http://learncharacterdesign.comBrookes Eggleston On Social:Twitter: http://twitter.com/bageldenizenInstagram: http://instagram.com/bageldenizenTwitch: http://twitch.tv/bageldenizen

You Don’t Have to Be Afraid of Environment Art Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-04-01 | What can have a ton of character, but isn’t a character at all? A character on it’s own is nice, and usually as character designers, our focus. But the context we set these characters in can add so much feeling and story. The problem is, backgrounds are pretty popularly thought of as hard.

Your Creative Energy Deserves Better. Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2022-03-04 | Creativity is an engine that runs on the fuel of Physical, Mental, and Emotional Energy.

Off Model Characters: Drawing Big Expressions for Simple Designs Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2021-10-17 | When we design characters, a lot of people try too early to start establishing turnarounds, lineups of characters, really the finalizing steps of the process, before exploring the character through iteration.

How To Draw and Design BETTER Clothing for Characters Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2021-08-08 | This is a video about clothing, and how the three pillars of character design can help you to draw and design clothing. We learn a lot about a person from their appearance, and it’s no wonder that we tend to make snap-judgements based off of someone’s clothing. That makes clothing both an unavoidable element but also a really powerful tool in character design.The Learn Character Design Course is a comprehensive Character Design Curriculum, available now: http://brookeseggleston.com/learnBiko's Backpack is available on: http://patreon.com/bageldenizenBrookes Eggleston On Social:http://twitter.com/bageldenizenhttp://instagram.com/bageldenizenhttp://twitch.tv/bageldenizenCharacter Design Forge has new videos every week.

How To Design Characters AND Environments Side-by-Side!

STOP Drawing So Fast and Gain Control Over Your Lines! Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge 2021-05-23 | It might seem from the title that this video is all about taking your time, not rushing your drawing process, and that might be a pretty decent side effect, but we’re actually talking about the actual mechanical way that you draw. Fast lines are smooth, and slow lines are wobbly, right? When you have less experience, it'd be easy to assume so. But the downside is that it might train you to only make hard, quick lines, which removes a lot of the versatility and vocabulary that your drawing arm and hand has. Even worse, it might train you to only ever draw quickly. So let's fix that!Biko's Backpack is available on: http://patreon.com/bageldenizenThe Learn Character Design Course is a comprehensive Character Design Curriculum, available now: http://learncharacterdesign.comTo get a critique of your own, select either the Novice Bard tier on Patreon, or the Expedited Critique at brookeseggleston.com/shopBrookes Eggleston On Social:http://twitter.com/bageldenizenhttp://instagram.com/bageldenizenhttp://twitch.tv/bageldenizenCharacter Design Forge has new videos every week.
