Introduction to Character Design
T-DES-001-001
An important step in the project creation is the character, prop and location design. This determines the style and models to follow for the entire project.
The design can be created on paper and scanned in or it can be created digitally. You can draw and even create the colours entirely on paper, while others like to design on paper and scan the drawings to create the colour model in a software program. The most popular method is to design digitally.
To save paper and time and avoid having to recreate colour palettes, Harmony gives you the ability to design all elements directly in the application. This keeps all your work within the same software, avoids using a lot of paper and losing time scanning in elements and importing them. Therefore, all design activities in this lesson will be done with Harmony.
