IL264

Every memorable character is composed of an intriguing visual stew; gestural tells, expressions, behavioral beats and archetypal rhythms. A vast set of visual ingredients, visual histories essential to their emotional impact, empathy and longevity. This course will help conjure your Characters by mixing and juxtaposing those visual ingredients, finding inventive ways to focus and cultivate your own visual cues, while exploring my Studio practices to bring them to Light. With the use of weekly word association challenges from Creating Characters with Personality by Tom Bancroft, guest interviews with Industry Professionals, and a series of lectures and projects, we will design a memorable cast of characters that will strengthen both your traditional and digital skill sets.
