Character Workshop

Featuring Mogzilla the eel, Francake the cat and Allkazar the Great and Powerful Wizard.

  In this workshop we were shown a technique to help us loosen up before starting our projects, which is also useful for creating original characters/creatures/objects. We had to make a random mark with ink, and add to it with pen to create an image. Then, we gave them stories. It was really helpful, because it forced me to come up with random creative ideas, to draw things I would not normally do. I found as we were going that the less marks you make, the better your character will be, because you have to be more creative to use a smaller mark. I also found that doing things like this outside of my comfort zone has helped me settle into a style, that I can doodle in and feel comfortable with.
