Greetings class,
This blog post is being written at Hub Comics, Somerville Massachusetts. I am desiring to give you all a bit more freedom in class to pursue your own ideas. However, it is important that you all use APPLIED KNOWLEDGE. Let us go over what we have learned in class!
* Story Structure
* Figure Drawing
* Abstraction
* Iconic drawing
* Perspective Drawing
Inner History
a unique history, world view and desire.
Visual distinction
A distinct and memorable body, face and wardrobe.
expressive traits
traits of speech and behavior associated with that character.
Where was your character raised? What kind of parents did they have? What's the best thing that ever happened to them? And the worst?
Who were their heroes? What were their struggles? All these things and more can help shape who they are.
Finding common ground between the experiences of your characters and those of the reader can help emotionally connect them --
While the differences in life experience between one character and another can trigger many stories.
A character raised in poverty, for example, may have trouble relating to a shopping-addicted heiress.
Don't obsess too much over such details is a class beginner's mistake.
