How to make a Character in Blender - My Full Process in 10 Minutes

[@KeelanJon]

Thank you for the amazing feedback on this new style of video, I was a little nervous posting it but I'm glad it was received well 😁♥️ Don't forget to leave a like to show me you enjoyed and as always I'll see you in the next one 🤘

Really cool video, I just started my channel and like seeing other channels do well in this space. Keep grinding and thanks for the content. 👍👍😀

[@CyborKat]

When you model in Blender the 'Highlighted Points' in the X-Y-Z axis is your front side, the "Outlined Points" are the opposite, meaning your back side. In your course I wasn't sure if you knew that as you work on the "Minus" Axis for most the course (or at least the earlier chapters). Otherwise, the course is FANTASTIC! Thank you for making an affordable and effective learning journey!

[@KeelanJon]

@@CyborKat Hi, thanks for your interest in my course 😁 The direction of the view labels when using the views shortcut key is indicative of which side of the object you are looking at, not the world orientation. Front, back, side etc. As noted in the course I use the view shortcuts primarily for orientation.

[@CyborKat]

@@KeelanJon Aaah, that makes sense! I never looked at it that way. 🙀

[@WilberforceWooster-uo2bl]

The mark of a true expert is that you make this look easy - but there are lots of helpful tips in here that I will be using.

[@babysole]

Your videos are the reason I finally managed to sculpt my first basic character design :) I am glad I came across your channel

[@KeelanJon]

I'm happy to hear that! 😁🤘

OMG I WAS STRUGGLING SO MUCH WITH MAKING A CHARACTER THIS VIDEO WILL BE SOOOO HELPFUL

[@KeelanJon]

Hope it helps 😁

[@marclapinff2709]

@@KeelanJongreat tutorial 🤗 by the way how long it took you to finish the whole character from start to finish? Thanks 😊

[@LogicalDraws]

OK THATS OK!

[@KiddingCell]

Did it help?

[@CamG6]

Could you make a video (or add to course) that covers how to make a low poly version and a high poly version of your character/model to be used in game development?

[@chris60036]

Have watched so many tutorials on the best approach to character modelling - all have either been too long with too many approaches cover to the point it becomes confusing - or too brief. This is the best I’ve seen - thanks for this! Really nice presented and well paced

[@KeelanJon]

Thank you, it means a lot to hear! :)

[@GiancarloVolpe]

This is really cool! I love how stylized and cartoony the character is, plus the dynamic lighting. Feels like a vinyl toy you'd want to collect! I also really appreciated seeing your working process!

[@KeelanJon]

Thank you, I love vinyl toys so that's nice to hear, stay tuned 😉

[@Xitol]

This video was a great diverge from your older content, hope to see more as you keep going! Can't wait to see more!

My man, we need people like you to help us, who are just starting with 3D modeling and art, and are in desperate need for online tutorials and people who KNOW how to guide us novices! 🙏🏻🧡 Bless you, this is really, really appreciated and helpful for even us beginners. Keep up the great work, you've earned my sub! 🤘🏻

i have been trying some tutorials here in youtube but i give up eventually but not until i found you! You're really awesome

[@KeelanJon]

Don't give up, you can do it!

Simplest character modeling tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you

[@michaeljburt]

Amazing tutorial. The art stands on its own too, excellent job. I'm fairly proficient with Blender but this is motivating me to work on my art skills, so thank you!!

[@BuCuInspo]

OMG YOUR WORK IS AMAMING! Im new to blender and I wish I knew how to actually do it step by step knowing all the tools etc.

[@dralincross1000]

Bro, incredible. I'm a huge fan and cant wait to get this course!!

Funny thing is that i use Blender almost since 4 years, and i even teach it in class... but is amazing how one can still learn new things down the road. Your art is amazing and your technique too. Bought your course straight away 😍😍😍

the way you create your characters has always inspired me, thanks for sharing all this process ;)

[@KeelanJon]

[@crystaloehlenschlaeger]

My gosh you have all my respects! Awesome video, awesome techniques, awesome, modeling, texturing, rendering! Outstanding!

[@Anonymous-ez8up]

After you block out, how did you "merged" the shapes so it looks like one solid body instead of separate shapes?

[@erikac.983]

Ctrl + J to join the objects, then you go on sculpt mode and you smooth the transition areas

[@neon2697]

@@erikac.983 how do you smooth the areas? im having problems doing that

[@Wook_Rook]

@@neon2697late but you need to remesh, then using any brush you can hold shift and click to smooth!

[@shanecorning5222]

Whoa those eyes are "advanced" Level ~ Cheers on That

[@Kuohin]

Tried to study this video as much as possible for my detailed character and it was very helpful but didn't stop me from making mistakes in the workflow. Now I'm being very warry of the performance issue that might come with super detailed models. Quad remesher is great but don't work on details before using it or you will have some regrets 😂 I'm really cautious about thinking everything in advance now... Still figuring out the best workflow. And I'm just starting to wonder about rigging. Hope I didn't make mistakes in the process that would make it difficult to handle for my computer 💀 But anyway, thanks a lot for all those videos. You got me hooked to 3D sculpting, I never thought I could do this and it's thanks to you and your first tutorial honestly !

[@CGTNC]

thank you so much! I've been wanting to make my own YT series for a while now using blender's 3D and this helped a lot

[@danyells4173]

This might be a dumb question, but how do you merge the shapes you blocked out so you can sculpt and rig them. Addtionally, which parts of a character should be seperate objects?

[@thefriendlyaspie7984]

when i see those googly super cute eyes it makes me wanna animate :) cool stuff :) yay

Hey Keelan! I just uploaded my first character design, your tutorials gave me the confidence to try sculpting in blender, I really hope I can continue learning from your wonderful channel... in fact if I can make a suggestion, I would love to know how I can optimize these characters to put them in a videogames or projects that requiere the less polygons as posible without losing resolution. a big hug and thank you very much for everything. 🙌 Keep being awesome!

[@anicemenhour2290]

Amazing job. Is it possible to see the nodes you used for the eyes' shader in more details? Very curious about it.

[@timoneri8812]

Good Work ! 🧐👌

[@MomoBambi]

I dont even know how to add the basic clay shapes and posing them...

[@augustkat9875]

I will warn you that blender is mainly keyboard shortcuts in terms of how to do things, and most videos won't remember to explain the shortcuts, which is why most people recommend you start with doughnut videos. I also recommend if you're interested in more stylized work , there's a great series on the Arcane Netflix series that teaches some unique ways to get any type of art you're looking for tbh.

[@MomoBambi]

​@@augustkat9875 ohh i didn't know the donut woukd learn that. I can understand why its so recommended. Do they show all the shortcuts in there?

[@augustkat9875]

@MomoBambi sorry my first comment apparently didn't fully send so here's for getting started and I'll send some links in the next message You can find the round cube in edit preferences on the top of the screen next to file then you go to add ons and When you're in the object mode, view port when you first open the program. You can start by pressing delete on your keyboard to get rid of objects, then press shift a on your keyboard to add objects under mesh. From there most people use round cubes but honestly it doesnt matter that much but I will say if you use round cube when you first spawn it in before clicking anything at the bottom of the view port it says "add round cube" most people open that and change the radius to "1". You can also scale with "s" grab an object with "g" and rotate with "r" you can also do it on a specific axis by pressing it then pressing "x", "y", or "z".

[@augustkat9875]

@MomoBambi I will say that I think once you understand the basics, this video will be more helpful. I will also note that shortcuts are only useful to know once you understand what you plan on making due to just how many shortcuts there are.

[@MomoBambi]

@@augustkat9875 thank you so so much for it, i really appreciate it! I will try all of this and will try to see the short cuts. My project is to create my own characters for 3d printing (miniature painting) and creating my own concepts for fortnite characters. Or just to have fun XD will probably take long to learn all of it but your advices may be very helpful. Thank you so much again

[@StudioKelpie1993]

I think I might follow along because I need to get back into sculpting and I have a really cool idea for a stylized female character who's been stuck in my head since I watched The Monkey King on Netflix

[@phihyoon]
