“Any time an artist or designer
can portray story points through a design or an illustration, the work becomes much more engaging. Iain
does a wonderful job of explaining the structure of visual storytelling
and how to create strong character designs that support your story.”

Stories can be written with
pictures as well as with words. Veteran storyteller and concept
artist Iain McCaig takes you on a journey through the process
of creating a story visually–from story beats and story gates,
to story drawings and the art of dreaming images on paper.
By the end of this DVD, you will have the tools and techniques
you need to create dynamic visual stories of your own. This
DVD contains the source for the subsequent lessons on creature
and character design, as Iain McCaig retells Hans Christian
Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" as a science fiction epic.
