Project City – Chase Conley – Energetic Character Design
Title: Project City – Chase Conley – Energetic Character Design
Info:
As a character designer, story board artist, and director, I’ll be teaching the fundamentals of drawing characters for animation. Whether you want to be a character designer, or storyboard artist, I will show you how I break the figure down in an easy to understand approach. Part of my design process is posing and moving the character around to test how well it will animate. This is the difference between just a static design and an animatable design. This is also a key skill you’ll need not just for character design, but for storyboarding and animating as well.
By the end of this class, students will have several character designs they can use for their portfolio or pitch deck. Students will also have a strong understanding of how to move the figure into energetic poses.

We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result). Thank you.
