Starting January 1st I will be teaching an 8-week class Character Design (hardcore version): Creating a varied and balanced cast of characters for a visual storytelling projects such as a comic/manga, video game, or animated movie. An easier version of the same class for less experienced artists is being taught by another instructor with the goal of creating a single character such as the main character or mascot of a game/comic/team/company or a fursona/animesona/other avatar. Several other classes are also being offered, most aimed at beginner artists who want to improve. All classes have at least two required homework assignments (mine has 8, one per week), so only apply to the school if you are actually going to do the homework.
