I will demonstrate the process that I follow for designing unique characters and will complete the demonstration with a quick ink and watercolor illustration. Students will, initially, take part in the process by providing suggestions for key details about the character. They will be able to follow along based on the answers provided by the group in the generation of their own version of the character. A collaborative design experience. I will also issue simple tips for working with ink and watercolor as a mixed medium --or the student may choose to work in a single medium at their discretion. This class will be more about visual problem-solving and idea generation than fine art skills. All skill levels are welcome. My material demonstrations for ink and watercolor will be introductory.
Learning Goals
I will introduce the student to the basic creative concept design process that is employed in the entertainment industry.
They will be introduced to the underlying thinking that takes place throughout the creative process.
They will also be introduced to basic techniques of ink and watercolor.Other Details
Supply List
—- No.2 pencil —- Waterproof/ water-resistant India ink ( disposable pen/ brush pen— or dip pen and ink bottle). —- Student’s favorite watercolors. —- Watercolor paper— I use 140 lb cold-pressed watercolor for its versatility. 9x12 is sufficient, though I buy larger pads and cut them down. Easy to find in art supply/ craft stores or on-line. —- A rigid surface to tape your work down to. Ex—-Thick foam core or hard board (Masonite) work well. Or a tabletop. —- Masking tape —- kneadable eraser or other eraser that is gentle on paper.

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

Teacher expertise and credentials
I’m passionate about illustration, cartooning, drawing, and painting.
I’ve been drawing since I learned that crayons taste terrible.
I’ve been a professional illustrator since 2001 working primarily in fantasy, sci-fi ,and adventure publishing. I’m also a storyboard artist for the entertainment industry.
I’ve taught people of all ages from young children to college students how to access their visual imagination along with the basic skills needed to tell their exciting stories.
Art skills are teachable skills and talent is little more than a pursued interest.
I will offer classes and demonstrations suitable for various age groups to help students explore the skills necessary to be a visual storyteller.
