Digital Character Design and Painting by Don Seegmiller

February 27, 2011

I know it’s been a couple of months since my last updates. I assure you that I’m still passionate about providing resources and information for the visual art, design and entertainment.

I would like to introduce you to this great book by Don Seegmiller. This book on Digital Character Design and painting is a wonderful start to approaching digital painting in corel painter. Seegmiller explains step by step fundamentals of researching characters, writing a characters profile, traditional art fundamentals and how to apply them to digital art. Such as lighting, rendering, color theory basics, to tricks and tips in painter. If you’re a beginner to character design I highly recommend this book. Also, one thing to note; Seegmiller is using an older version of corel painter 7; but most of the information is still relevant to later versions of painter.
