Today’s class I thought was at the Cartoon Art Museum. I had an excellent group of all new kids. Some were all the way from the UK and Israel.
The first step on designing a character for us was to make a sheet of different mouth and eye expressions….
Next the students copied their favorite eye, nose, and mouth onto index cards…
Then the students were given index cards with a new eye, nose, and mouth at random (by other students) and combined them into a head. After that some cards were exchanged or rotated and new faces are created…
After we talked a bit on drawing the body(not shown), we made a character using all our notes. Mine is a cross eyed elf…
