Beginner’s Guide to 3D Character Modeling & Customization​

Start your Blender character-modeling journey with simple, expressive SD characters.
If full-scale character modeling has ever felt too complicated, this course gives you a more approachable starting point.
Join 3D Animator minusT and learn how to create stylized SD characters with simple proportions, clear forms, and a strong 2D-inspired look.
From the body and face to hairstyles, outfits, posing, texturing, toon shading, and final rendering, you’ll follow a complete beginner-friendly workflow designed to help you understand the fundamentals of 3D character creation without becoming overwhelmed.

Throughout the course, you’ll create:

• A complete SD body
• Four hairstyles
• Four outfit variations
• Basic character rigs
• IK controls
• Toon shaders
• 3D line art
• Eye textures
• Hair and outfit textures
• Custom character poses

By the end, you’ll have the skills to create and customize your own SD character from scratch.

Start Character Modeling with Simple SD Proportions​

SD characters are an ideal way to learn character modeling because their simplified structure makes it easier to focus on the fundamentals.

You’ll learn how to understand:

• Proportions
• Silhouette
• Basic topology
• Character construction
• Hair structure
• Clothing forms
• Rigging
• Texturing
• Shading

without needing to begin with a highly complex realistic model.

The goal is to build a strong foundation that can later be applied to more advanced character work.

Why Take This Class?​

Learn Blender Character Modeling Through an Approachable SD Workflow​

Character modeling can feel difficult when too many technical concepts appear at once.

This course breaks the process into clear stages.

Start with:

• Head
• Body
• Hands

then gradually move into:

• Hair
• Clothing
• Rigging
• Weight Painting
• Shading
• Texturing
• Rendering

Learn by completing practical examples instead of studying tools in isolation.

Bring 2D Character Appeal into a 3D Environment​

A stylized 3D model doesn’t have to look traditionally rendered.

Learn how minusT recreates the appeal of 2D illustration through:

• Toon shading
• Controlled character colors
• 3D line art
• Stylized texturing
• Shape Keys

Combine the dimensionality of 3D with the expressive clarity of illustrated character design.

Build Characters You Can Customize​

Rather than creating only one fixed model, practice multiple variations.

You’ll create:

Four Hairstyles​

• Bob
• Long hair
• Wavy hair
• Twin-tails

Four Outfits​

• Sportswear
• School uniform
• Casual hoodie outfit
• Dress

By comparing different construction methods, you’ll learn how to make design choices that suit your own characters.

Instructor​

3D Animator minusT​

Hello, I’m minusT, a 3D animator creating subculture-inspired character content in Blender.
Blender is an excellent tool for people beginning their journey into 3D, but resources focused specifically on stylized subculture characters are still relatively limited.
Drawing on more than 16 years of self-taught 3D experience, I’ve developed my own practical workflows for character modeling, animation, shading, and rendering.
This course is designed specifically for beginners in Blender character modeling.
If you’ve ever struggled to follow character tutorials because the process felt too complicated, SD character modeling provides a more approachable way to build your fundamentals.
We’ll progress step by step through body modeling, hairstyles, outfits, rigging, texturing, and rendering so you can become comfortable with the complete character-creation process.
