In this tutorial we'll cover the steps on how to create an orthographic character rendering in Photoshop. We'll begin with a line drawing of half the character then refine the edges as we fill it in, next we'll continue working in grey-scale while adding shading and lighting to bring out the character's form. Then using simple Photoshop techniques we'll go on to create symmetrical front, back and side renderings. Finally, we'll add a color overlay to give our character a unique look.

design3 got a chance to visit Mixamo's studio in San Francisco, CA. While there we had an informative discussion about animation and motion capture with Stefano Corazza (CEO) and Nateon Ajello (Motion Capture Director).
