I'm a HUGE fan of Dave Rapoza's art and I was THRILLED to see he has put together a two part tutorial video on his process for both a line/color rendering and a full color/shadow rendering of his "Bog Witch" character!

Rapoza is on of the BEST concept artists out there and the fact that he is sharing his insights and creative process I think is PHENOMENAL (also considering he is selling these tutorial videos with photoshop files for a FRACTION of the cost of most other less COOL and less AWESOME video tutorails by other artists).  So be sure to check it out!

From Dave Rapoza's Gumroad:

Bog Witch - from Sketch to Line Art to Finished Colors! +PSD & all my brushes
https://gumroad.com/l/zAGa

This video covers my approach to line art, applying color and designing a character! The long format video covers the entire process start to finish with full commentary and a companion video is included that breaks the process down to 20 minutes in case you would rather have a simplified version.

The following are included in this download -
- Bog Witch demo - 4hr 53m video covering my entire process w/commentary
- Simplified Breakdown - 20m video covering the basics of the process I use in the demo
- Character Do's & Don't's - 15m video covering my opinions on character design and presentation
- All of my Brushes

From Dave Rapoza's Gumroad:

Bog Witch Part 2 - Grayscale to Color Character Concept!
https://gumroad.com/l/OUuTK
This video covers my approach to creating a Character Concept for film/video games! I will be showing you how I go from grayscale to color. The long format video covers the entire process start to finish with full commentary and a companion video is included that breaks the process down to 23 minutes in case you would rather have a simplified version.

(Part 1 is not necessary for this video, but it helps with the character design side, this video covers mostly technique)
The following are included in this download -
