“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.”

Creating realistic human characters
for imaginary worlds is one of the great challenges for artists
and storytellers alike. In this fourth DVD in the series, veteran
storyteller and concept artist Iain McCaig shows you how to
build alternate worlds, costumes, and human characters by passing
the real world through the looking-glass of the land of story.
Following “Volume 1: The Anatomy of a Story,” “Volume
2: Cosmic Mermaid Character Design,” and “Volume
3: Sea King/Space Witch Character Design,” this DVD tracks
McCaig's progress as he creates the two leading human characters
in his science fiction adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The
Little Mermaid.”
