Character design course

I wanted to share with you one of my students, Klaus-Martin Gareis's final assignments from my last semester online character design course on schoolism.com. He amongst others had made huge improvements in just nine weeks. The drawing on the left was the first assignment based on a character description I gave with no teaching yet. The pic on the right is the final assignment to draw this character again with their new found knowledge. My June 21st semester is all filled up and my next on which starts on September 6th has already started to fill up, so reserve your seat today.

A couple of years ago I had the chance to do some development for this new sony feature movie coming out. "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". I was not a part of the final phase of the movie, but I was honored to find out that they put alot of my development work in this new book. It is filled with fantastic character design of all the people that contributed. The movie looks like alot of fun.
