Students will go through the process of designing a character for a specific project need. The process is very similar to actually working with an Art Director in the industry. Students will choose a synopsis of a story or need (either one provided or one they make up themselves) and then progress through the creative process from rough to final concept. If time allows, students may practice presenting their concept to the "Art Director". Creative liberty is encouraged regarding style, genre, and final concept.  Students with moderate drawing experience are recommended.
