What Do Character Designers Use?
Character Designers are responsible for creating the look and feel of characters for films, television, video games, and other forms of media. Character Designers use a variety of tools and techniques to create their artwork.
Physical Materials
Character Designers may work with physical materials such as pencil, paper, ink, chalk, mixed media, etc to produce their primary sketches. This allows them to quickly explore ideas and create rough sketches.
Digital Art
Character Designers may also create completely digital art using computer software. This allows them to create more detailed and polished artwork.
Software
The software used will depend on whether the project is in 2D or 3D. For 2D projects, software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Corel Painter are commonly used. For 3D projects, software such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, and ZBrush are commonly used.
Presentation
Eventually, all artwork will be presented digitally. This allows for easy sharing and collaboration with other members of the team.
