2D CHARACTER DESIGN
2D character creation (or character design) focuses on developing the visual identity, personality,
and the physical appearance of characters using two-dimensional art techniques. This process involves
everything from initial sketching and understanding anatomy to final coloring and creating a model
sheets for animators. Courses emphasize shape language, color theory, expressions, and poses to
create appealing characters that fit within a specific narrative or game world.
