Description

Class Experience

  I love designing characters for stories that I create and I want to share what I have learned over my career in illustrating. I draw in an whimsical style. Art is your personal interpretation and it's alright to express yourself. 

Most of all I believe that the most important thing is to enjoy what you are creating and anyone can create art.

We will create characters like: Pirates,Princesses, Robots, Superheroes, Unicorns, strange pets and much more.
Jan 28: Shape and construction
Feb 4:...

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn the methods that animators, concept artists and illustrators use daily in creating  animated movies,illustrations and more.

I will assign a small project based on the weekly topic.

Paper or sketchbook
Eraser
Pencil
and your imagination

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

This course will be participation based.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

Some of the characters that may be created such as pirates, space fighters and more could have weapons. All of  the character topics will be listed prior to the class, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
