Character Art

Hi all,

I wish to work as a character artist for a video game industry. I am new to this field. I researched online and found out, to be better at this field one must have a great understanding of the following skills (please correct me if I am wrong):

Traditional:

1. Gesture and Structure.
2. Perspective.
3. Anatomy.
4. Value.
5. Color.

Digital:

1. Photoshop.
2. ZBrush.

I have been practicing basic shapes and do it as a regular practice/warm-up everyday. I am currently watching “Beginning Figure Drawing” by Steve Huston and love it. I would appreciate some help on the concerns I have listed down.

1. Am I heading in the right direction?
2. What videos/courses would one suggest to achieve the above?
3. Anything else that I should do apart from this?

P.S: English is not my native language, please ignore my grammatically wrong sentences.
