Introduction to Character Design

For fans of cartoons, anime, and comics, this class will immerse you in the behind-the-scenes work of the creation of your favorite characters. You will create your own unique and impactful character by utilizing the three key aspects of character design; silhouette, palette, and exaggeration. By following the same steps as the creators of your favorite visual stories, you will design a character that is entirely unforgettable.
