    Character Design for Freelancers with Nate Wragg - Part 1
    Part 2 - https://youtube.com/shorts/snnw3qNPhAg Learn More: https://www.cgmasteracademy.com/courses/character-design-for-freelancers/ If you are a character designer and you want to be ready to take on freelance work, this class is for you. Freelance work can be a huge part of a professional artists career, and being prepared to adapt to quick assignments and varying artistic styles the way freelance work requires is a very important skill to develop. This is not an advanced class, but more importantly a class for any designer who wants their portfolio to show they are capable of being considered for and doing freelance character design work. Each lecture will tie into freelance experiences Ive had myself, which will help bring context and a level of realism to each weeks work.Every week will start with an assignment brief that reflects the type of brief an artist would get from an agency or studio if they were being hired as a freelance character designer. That brief might require extra poses, additional character props, etc. Each week will also challenge the artist to work in a unique style (not necessarily their own), which is commonplace as a freelance character designer. Additionally, the weekly assignments will help students practice working quickly and keeping pace with the short timelines and quick turnarounds that often come with freelancing.At the completion of the course each student will have 8 new character design pieces / spreads for their portfolio which will showcase their ability and strength as a designer who could be hired for freelance.
