“When you learn to see the world in terms of light, color, and design, it’s hard not to be inspired” says concept designer, illustrator, and NFT artist Sammy Khalid - better known as ‘Chigg’. He believes that drawing, painting, and design are visual representations of how much you observe in the world around you, and views his creative process as an evolution. Most of Chigg’s work involves designing for film, TV, and animation, in both 2D and 3D, for clients including Warner Bros, Disney, Riot Games, and Netflix.

In this course, he teaches you the industry-tested processes and techniques that he has used as part of his creative and professional practice for years. Learn the fundamentals of research, painting, and design for character creation using image editing software. Develop the skills and confidence to design your own unique character.
