Character Development Tutorial - Part 03 (Color rough) Video

I just finished editing the video of the character design tutorial.
In this third step I wanted to focus on the overall feel of the illustration and tried to establish the main design characteristics of the figure.
I hope you could learn something from this and don`t forget to leave comments about what you would like to see in the next part of the tutorial.

Great video!
I like the way the character goes. Good choice to give him some eyes and i admire the ease you add a believable background.

Hey Mark,

Looks great man. These vids are hard to put together for sure.

My only comment is that this seems to go beyond "color rough." Maybe change the title to "rough environment and modeling" or something. I was confused because it already looked roughed out to me when you started! Ha.

Marc Scheff: hey man! thanks for dropping by and I am glad you like it!

I just named it `color rough`, because I established the main color scheme at this step. Its hard to name your working steps, cause its usually different in every work what I get.

Your vid was very instructive and it was cool to see your process putting the character and the environment together. It does remind me that I need to practice my speed painting and yours was a good frame of reference.

Stay tuned as the next part of the series is coming soon!
