Welcome Illustrators!
Come join other illustrators for art critiques and discussions on industry topics. All experience levels welcome!
Typically we meet the second Saturday of the month, but this November is an exception.
WHEN: Sunday, Nov. 9 , 10:00 am to 12:00 noon
TOPIC: Creating Characters
Height is not the only difference between children and adults. This talk will focus on the key traits of the head and the body to adjust to help create a wide range of characters, regardless of how simple or complex the art style is. A critique will follow the lecture with tips on how to revise poses to make the sense of life, anatomy, and balance stronger.
