Does your character have a spiky black mohawk or fluffy blonde ponytails? This may sound like a weird Guess Who game, but these are the questions you ask yourself when bringing a character to life in image. In this workshop, you will learn the importance of line quality, color theory, and the use of texture in art. First you will complete a short “Madlib” type worksheet to help form a creative character to work with. You will then be provided with a plethora of mixed media and have time to create this character on paper. You will walk away with a greater knowledge of how line, color, and texture can evoke different emotions from the audience to better execute the purpose of the illustration, to enhance the written words, and parallel the intended narrative.
