    Description
    In the course, students build on the foundational principles and tools of concept design to focus on character and prop designs. Students will polish their digital hand sketching and rendering skills to create compelling characters and related props that communicate emotion and convey meaning to audiences using current industry software and hardware. Students employ line, shape, color, value, texture, and anatomical knowledge to visually communicate character and emotion at a glance. These critical character design skills have application in movies, television, animation, games, and visual effects (VFX) as well as traditional media like comics and illustration.
