Gaming Illustration and Character Design
The field of gaming illustration is continually expanding. If you want to be part of it there are specific things you need to know. In this class you will build strong portfolio pieces. You will gain knowledge about the gaming business as Winona walks you through the process of creating industry-specific artwork.
Winona will work one-on-one with each student through specific assignments and weekly individual draw-overs and critiques.
Towards the end of the semester student's work will be reviewed by Lake Hurwitz, Principal Artist for Wizards of the Coast Franchise Development.
After taking this class students will also receive a free profile on the Smarter Art Market
