Exploring CharacterDesign:  An ONGOING Hands-On Workshop for Young Artists.

**Please note- an understanding of ones preferred software is  a pre-requisite for this class. I will not be teaching the programs in class.  If your student needs to learn Procreate - please see my "Intro to Procreate" recorded class ***

Join us for an exciting journey into the world of digital art character design! In this dynamic online class tailored for ages 10-14 where we will unleash creativity and learn how to bring unique characters to life.

Led by experienced digital artist/illustrator- Lisa Albinus, this course will explore the fascinating realm of character design using Procreate. While Procreate will be the primary tool, students are welcome to use any digital art software they're comfortable with or even traditional mediums like paint, paper, and pencil.

Get ready to dive deep into the creative process! Lisa will share her personal approach to character design, emphasizing the brainstorming of attributes such as personality, quirks, appearance, and oddities before the design process begins. Each week, students will receive prompts to inspire their character creations. These prompts will be shared every Sunday, allowing students ample time to brainstorm before class, ensuring maximum productivity during our time together.

Unlike traditional directed drawing exercises, this class encourages students to design characters freely, exploring their own creative instincts and style. Lisa will be on hand to provide guidance, expertise, and assistance with technique questions and software problems, empowering students to develop their skills, their own personal styles, and empower their creativity. It is an exciting hurdle when one can create what one imagines! 

If you are looking to enhance your character design skills, this class offers a supportive and engaging environment where creativity and thinking out of the box is encouraged!  I look forward to seeing your creations in class!
