In this course you will explore concepts and approaches involved in creating successful character designs that can be applied to video games. Following a first week delving into some foundational concepts for successful character design, each of the remaining three weeks are structured as a master class where you will observe three professional character designers at work in the studio: Andy Ristaino (Adventure Time), Jacky Ke Jiang (Journey), and Robertryan Cory (SpongeBob SquarePants). Each designer will take on two different design challenges on the fly and address the various issues in designing characters for games, such as movement, expression, and technical limitations. At the end of each week you will have an opportunity to try out some of the concepts from that week's lesson on characters of your own design.

As I said earlier, I recommend this course for everyone; doctors included (:\n\nI like how this course was treated in a different way. We see people doing the job on there ground, that's interesting.
Fun and challenging to me. Is not easy to me to create new characters, but with this practice and professional examples, I feel more confident to just do and see what happens. Thank you, very much.
Good course, especially since you have the option to take it for free. Nice assignments that gets you to think outside the box or challenge. Recommend it if you wanna keep yourself busy and learn.
Not only did I learn more than I ever thought I would, but I had fun, as well! In fact, I liked this course so much that I've enrolled in another course offered within the same specialization.
I liked this course and I really enjoyed the assignments which were creative and exiting. Despite the fact that course is quite simple, for the beginners I had a lot of pleasure out of it!
This class was really fun and the assignments were engaging. I think it is a great way to get your mind centered around the idea of character design, not just for games but for anything.
The 3 masterclasses are so awesome... You will not only learn a ton about character design, but also about professional work, design, communication... These 3 artists are so inspiring!
Es un excelente curso para ver como artistas reales (y muy buenos) crean y conceptualizan personajes. Además las tareas están muy bien hechas y hacen a tu creatividad trabajar.
I like the course but missing some basics of character design. As body shapes drawing, personalities, i wanted some basics on how to draw and approach to designing characters.
This course expanded my mind into creating a character inspired by surroundings. I have designed characters before in class but this was the next level i needed!
This course was so much fun! It opens your eyes to a more experienced future in Character designing. The variety in challenges were also quite something!
I love all the interviews and the course in general, but a wish the course has more basic knowledge on how to be creative and create characters...
Love this course. It is very fun and interactive and the homework challenges your creative side and makes you think a little harder. Great course!
It is powerful and enlightening for those who want to go into the field of design of video games, design of characters, and simply story telling.
An amazing course, I really enjoyed it ..\n\nvery useful assignments .. opened my mind in different ways\n\nwould have loved references or so ..
Really fun course. The different artists have pretty interesting tricks and tips, which can significantly improve your character design skills.
I love every course it pretty much show you what imagination an artist can have with each homework feeling like an adventure of creativity.
The idea of hosting character designers while they are designing is AMAZING .. thanks for letting this opportunity become possible ^^
Excellent! Sorry, I didn't do any assignments, but I really enjoy the course. The words of Robertryan Cory were brilliant! Cheers.
I wish this class had more actual lessons on character design concepts and philosophies rather than the demonstrations it used.
