This course is for students who would like to explore drawing and career possibilities through a variety of forms, including storyboarding for film/music videos, editorial illustration, cartooning and comics, storyboarding for advertising and children's book illustration. In-class exercises, lectures and replicated real-world job assignments will broaden each student's sense of what is possible through drawing. With weekly class crits as well as individual guidance, students will learn to find their voice by concentrating on drawing techniques and styles. Home assignments will be encouraged, working from thumbnail sketches to final portfolio pieces. How to find clients, pricing and presentation of work will be covered.
NOTE: All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
