Digital Character Design for Teens

Do you enjoy creating stories? Making characters to inhabit your imaginary worlds? Learn the way your favorite characters from games and shows are made!

This is a beginners/intermediate character design course with an emphasis on creating memorable characters for videogames, animation or film. We will learn about character archetypes, genres in media, shape design, and design iteration; as we develop a concept from life observations, reference, and our imaginations. The goal by the end of the course will be to create your own character!

Exploration, getting out of your comfort zone, and visually communicating through drawing will be major components to our class, with a lot of guided learning and group collaboration to pursue your own ideas.
