Learn how to create three classic types of playful characters: cute, villain and silly. Throughout this workshop, you’ll explore how to visualise your drawing from a 3D perspective, so that you can achieve better results with your characters.
Once you’ve learned the basic structures, Richard will show you how to use them when creating your playful, imaginary characters. He’ll take you through all the steps so you can draw like a pro. Grab your pencils and get ready to create your own imaginary world!
For the full creative experience, we recommend also participating in Richard Cameron Morneau’s follow-up workshop: Facial Expressions for Playful Characters.
Open to beginners and intermediates.
Ages 9 to 99.
