From body shape to color scheme and clothing, every piece of a character gives the viewer insight about who they are. Join us for this eight-week class as we learn what it takes to design memorable and original characters, diving further into shape language, silhouette, and costume design. After experimenting with illustrations and the development process, students will transform their sketches into a final design of their characters.

Requirements

This class will be held entirely online using the video conference interface Zoom. Students will be expected to have an internet connection, camera, and microphone to communicate with the teacher and other students.
