This course is a more advanced look at character design through the lens of a storyteller and is designed for those looking to improve their skills as concept artists and illustrators. 

The ten-week course covers a wide range of related topics, and students will have the opportunity to develop an entire portfolio while developing a story of their own. Students may select a story that already exists, but will be required to change it in some way - genre-bend it, change the time period, make it a sweeping epic fantasy, or mash two stories together! If a student is already developing a story, they may use it as their theme for this course.
