Project City – Chase Conley – Energetic Character Design

作为一名角色设计师、故事板艺术家和导演，我将教授为动画绘制角色的基础知识。无论你是想成为一名角色设计师，还是故事板艺术家，我都将向你展示我如何用一种易于理解的方法来分解人物。我的设计过程的一部分是摆姿势和移动角色，以测试它的动画效果。这就是静态设计和动画设计之间的区别。这也是一项关键技能，不仅是角色设计，还包括故事板和动画制作。

到本课程结束时，学生们将有几个角色设计，他们可以用于他们的投资组合或投球台。学生们还将对如何将人物移动到充满活力的姿势有很强的理解。

Project City – Chase Conley – Energetic Character Design

Info:
As a character designer, story board artist, and director, I’ll be teaching the fundamentals of drawing characters for animation. Whether you want to be a character designer, or storyboard artist, I will show you how I break the figure down in an easy to understand approach. Part of my design process is posing and moving the character around to test how well it will animate. This is the difference between just a static design and an animatable design. This is also a key skill you’ll need not just for character design, but for storyboarding and animating as well.

By the end of this class, students will have several character designs they can use for their portfolio or pitch deck. Students will also have a strong understanding of how to move the figure into energetic poses.
