Watch as Instructor Josh outlines Character Design for Animation, part 01 in our multi-part live free arts education animation (from beginning to end) series. Join us on March 3rd, 3:00pm EST (8:00pm GMT) to continue the Journey with us, live.🎨🤓

In part one, Josh teaches us how to create ICONIC✨ and EFFECTIVE character designs by demonstrating the process🌱☀️ and collaborating with the live chatters to flesh out an awesome new character design for a Ghost Hunter👻, as voted in our community poll. We go over four stages; developing a character description/background, using shape language🟥🔺🟡 to help design our character based on our description, fleshing out the character by throwing out ideas using rough sketches, deciding on a finished design concept, and turning that into a focused 😣 design which we'll use in future streams to continue developing our animation!
