Design and Digital Arts
Concept artists, such as storyboard artists, create the look of a character, like those in films, games, and comic books, from V for Vendetta to Chicken Little and Spider-Man. Creating successful characters that are memorable and believable to an audience requires knowledge of art and design, and attention to details, such as form and physicality. In this introductory course, you build a fundamental knowledge of character design--which includes sketching, drawing, developing textures, and use of other materials that aid in the process--and apply these skills to create a complete character. Through in-class exercises, you draw and develop your own characters.
