This event is part of the March 2018 Class, "Creating Stylized Characters with Blender".
Like Dorothy, our characters have so far lived in a black and white world. This week we’re leaving Kansas and adding color. There’s many methods for creating our character texture(s) including hand-painting, baking maps that accent the painting process (great for the less painterly character artists), as well as photo-sourcing. There's also a couple different formats: Vertex Colors and UV/Textures. All things we will be discussing!
and to soak up the wisdom!

If you label the classes as level, something like 1000 for beginner level, 3000 for advanced or something like that it would be easier to track the level of the class we are getting into.
