Prepare for 8 weeks of fantastic training with Cameron Farn where he'll lead you through the creative process and logic of character development. You will learn how to breathe life into believable characters living in equally believable and unique worlds. Cameron's insight into creative reasoning and distinctive perspective on character and creature design will be valuable life-lessons in your journey as an artist and professional. You'll start off by building context for your creature, gathering reference images and compiling them in your Context Library. Once assembled, you'll be trained in drafting a Design Brief for your character and then move onto creating the silhouettes of two fully realized alien forms, with a focus on applying creative reasoning and delving into aspects of anatomical & physiological structure and purpose. From there you'll learn to effectively pose, outfit and texture your character utilizing the specific Context Library you assembled at the start. Cameron will help you examine a designer's inner dialog and expose the work no one ever sees but wants to understand. You will explore a method of reasoning which will continually churn and influence your work as you sculpt, revealing latent skills to take advantage of each time an idea strikes, while giving your artwork a fresh and realistic quality built on the talents we expose and our desires for originality.
