IN THIS EPISODE ::

I respond to a number of requests that I post more process images for works-in-progress.

The episode contains a time-lapse recording of a simple head-study, a really fun and spontaneous stage of my own character design process. Since painting is a strength of my own, I almost always employ that skill when designing for any medium: movies, tv, comics, video games, etc…

Here, I demonstrate how by utilizing both drawing and painting methods, I can bring about a stronger final image than if I had only relied on a single method.

I also address how character designers can avoid cliches when designing lions or dogs or aliens or any other character types that have appeared many times in stories past.
