Character Design for Tabletop Games, Comics, and More!

In this multiweek class, students will explore a variety of approaches to character design and storytelling. A wide range of techniques and materials will be practiced based on interest and intention including pencil drawing, inking, watercolor, markers, and colored pencils. These materials will be explored congruently to create characters used to play tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, but also comic making, paintings, and more! Students will also learn to cut and prep paper, measure, thumbnail, and sketch. Topics of discussion will include character design, setting, concept, and mark making.
