Wouter Tulp • Newsletter • November 2024


Greetings friends,

Welcome to my newsletter. I hope you are doing well.In this newsletter I'll share some updates on my art, and activities. I hope you'll enjoy

Wanna get better at character design? I've created two instructional books with a lot of exercises in them, called Tulptorials.

My Tulptorial books are now available as E-Books!!

Tulptorials 1 ​contains more then 10 exercises to improve your fundamental character design skills, taught by Wouter Tulp, professional character designer for studios such as Netflix animation and Paramount pictures. Wouter draws from more than 15 years of experience working as a freelance illustrator, sharing with you tips and tricks to improve your character design skills. The exercises each deal with a specific skill that a character designer needs to eventually be able to communicate with their drawings.

Tulptorials 2​ is not a ‘how to draw’ book. It’s a ‘How to think’ book. Coming up with ideas can seem like something hard to grasp. Either you have a good idea or you don’t. In this book, Wouter reveals the techniques he’s been developing during his career as a character designer. There will always be some sort of magic to where ideas come from, but the techniques in this book will help you to set yourself up for success.

I'm on Bluesky!

A new platform, and I'm on it. At first look it seems to be a hybrid of 'X' and Instagram. I'm especially excited about the possibility to curate your own galleries using lists, the fact that there's no scraping, and no suffocating algorithms. Anyway, I'll start posting my work there as of today, and I'd be happy to see you there.
