Remember when you were a kid, and you’d sit around with your friends spit balling ideas for comic book characters just for fun? You’d come up with cool super powers and abilities, give them quirky names and pit them against each other to see who would win. Maybe you’d draw them out in your scrapbook, or role-play with your pals in the backyard.

Welcome to my second Skillshare Class! This class is a continuation of a series of classes where I go step by step through my process of creating illustrations. Feel free to follow along with the series or to only watch the classes that cover what you're interested in learning!

With this tutorial you will learn the basics of ZBrush and some core principles in creating an appealing character. With over 6 hours of instruction, we will go over the process of creating a character from scratch. The videos cover all the techniques I use in sculpting a character, such as the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as some cool tricks and work flow to create stylized hair.

Animation has a lot to do with acting. That is, character animation, not the standardized, mechanical process of animation. Acting and animation are highly creative processes. This book is divided into two parts: From film history we learn about the importance of actors and the variety of acting that goes into animation; then, we will turn to the actor's point of view to describe the various techniques involved. Through exhaustive research and interviews with people ranging from the late Ray Harryhausen, Jim Danforth, Joe Letteri, and Bruno Bozzetto, this book will be the primary source for animators and animation actors.
