Character Design II - Lesson 7 [Animal Character Design]

 Lesson 7, and we're almost at the end of the course. So very sad, I do really enjoy art schooling and gaining knowledge from the professionals (: . This lesson was taking a famous person and pretty much making them into an animal of my choice. I chose the star Mo'Nique because I like her sassy-ness in her characters and I made her into a bootylicious kitty.

Character Design II - Lesson 6 [Designing from Storyboards]

Here's another lesson! For this one, I had to clean up a storyboard sketch an then draw that character in another pose. Also, as a little bonus assignment, I had to take a picture of something in the home and then draw what I see in that object. Inspiration! (Click to enlarge)

Character Design II - Lesson 5 [Reference]

  Week 5! Reference! I picked a pic of a cute tarsier just because they are so unique and I love their bug eyes (: . I made my picture into a sort of children's alphabet book page.

Character Design II - Lesson 4 [Drawing Women]

Week 4! Drawing the lady figure. We had to draw three waitresses in three different body shapes. I did banana, hourglass, and pear shapes. The banana-shaped chick is my favorite. She doesn't really care what you want to order, she just wants her shift to be over...

Character Design II - Lesson 3 [Caricature Characters]

 Week number three and I was assigned to make a caricature of someone famous. It was a tough choice, but I picked Nathan Lane in the movie "The Producers" as Max Bialystock. I think I did pretty well ( and so did Stephen Silver!). *fist pump*

Character Design II - Lesson 2 [Different Styles]

  This is week 2 for my class and I did AMAZING! And I'm not just saying that, Stephen said so too! I am super flattered and beaming from my video feedback from the class. Especially when he said he would hire me in a heart beat for what a terrific job I did on the assignment and how I paid attention to using the style of the show with my characters. Again, he couldn't think of anything to add or critique on. Feelin great! :D .

Character Design II - Lesson 1 [Character Design Review]

 So! I haven spent good money once more at the amazing Schoolism.com and am currently enrolled in Character Design II with Stephen Silver (Hurrah!) I am very excited that he made another more advanced class for one of my most favorite things in the world: character designing! Here is my submission for Lesson One, just a basic review on character designing and working with the Golden Mean and what not. I always feel so rusty on the first assignments :P ...
