The Big Draw and Concepts App present Getting Started with Character Workshop Design with Andy McNally.
Curious about character design? Bring your sketchbook and pen to a free Zoom workshop with Illustrator and Artist, Andy McNally, and learn how to get started with creating your characters and drawing on inspiration from all around.
In our workshop, learn how to:
turn simple shapes into a new character of your own making
develop tools to keep working and take your characters further
draw on all kinds of sources of inspiration, and help find your style
Not only will you gain loads of confidence in your drawing skills, we’ll also chat about our favourite tools for drawing, moving between and using pen and paper and digital drawing, and help you get started creating your own characters.
