Students will develop an original narrative image/illustration or a series of images from initial thumbnails and studies to a finished piece. The class approaches the figure as an element within a larger visual story, not the sole area of study. The placement of a character, how they behave, what information is absolutely necessary to incorporate and the tone, mood that needs to be communicated clearly. Students will work in traditional media for sketches and then a finish of their choice (markers or paint).
