Stylized Characters in 3D

The main objective of this class is to understand the process of creating a stylized character, and to have a finished stylized character at the end of the course. Students will start out by gathering their favorite concepts then laying down a foundation with fundamentals of the form. Students will go from primary forms to secondary forms which really boils down what it takes to make a stylized character. Furthermore, the course will go over features of the body and face to create that sense of appeal. What students will get out of this class is understanding how to get a stylized character from start to finish.
