It is very important when working in comics and cartooning that drawn characters look the same every time they appear. This class will teach you how to do that. Students will learn how to draw a character from the front, the side, and the back. They will learn how to think in three-dimensions with their drawings. Students will also learn how to measure their character so that they can keep consistent proportions.
I have spent twenty years in the Animation, Illustration and Comics industries. I currently create my own webcomic and graphic novel and have illustrated several children's books and comics featuring original character design of my own and existing characters. I have created my own character design sheets and studied others that I have had to work with on projects. Some of my clients have included IDW, IBM, Sesame Street and American Greetings.
This is a one-time class so while no homework is assigned, students are encouraged to practice the techniques learned after the class is over.
A handout consisting of several pages of samples including a worksheet. Pencil, eraser, paper and a ruler or straight edge.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
