Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “female trainers” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I wanted to create some, you know, realistic-looking female trainer characters. Started this whole project a few days ago, totally clueless, but here’s how it went down.
First Steps – Total Confusion
First, I googled a bunch of stuff. Like, “how to create characters” and “character design software.” Ended up with a million tabs open and feeling totally overwhelmed. I downloaded a couple of free programs, but they were either super complicated or just didn’t do what I wanted. One of them kept crashing. Awesome.
Getting Somewhere (Slowly)
Then I stumbled upon some tutorials. Thank goodness for those! I started following along, step-by-step. It was like learning a new language. Took me a whole afternoon just to figure out how to, like, make a basic shape that vaguely resembled a human. The first few attempts? Let’s just say they looked…interesting.
Experimenting Like Crazy
After that, it was all about experimenting. I played around with different features, tried different styles, and basically just clicked on everything to see what would happen. I made a ton of mistakes, but slowly, things started to take shape. I learned how to adjust the body proportions, added some clothes (which was surprisingly tricky!), and even managed to give them some basic facial features.
- Spent hours just on the hair. Seriously, hair is HARD.
- Accidentally deleted a whole project once. Learned to save often.
- Figured out how to change colors, which was a game-changer.
Finally, Some Results!
After days of messing around, I finally created a few characters that I’m actually kind of proud of. They’re not perfect, not by a long shot, but they look like actual female trainers! It was a lot of trial and error, a lot of frustration, but also a lot of fun. I definitely learned a ton, and I’m excited to keep practicing and getting better.
If you are insterested in it, just do it. It may be a little difficult for the first time, but try more and do not give up!
