Today, The Gnomon Workshop announces the addition of Creature and Character Design with concept artist Sang Jun Lee. Drawing on years of professional experience on numerous blockbuster film titles, Sang Jun explains his workflow, from fundamental thumbnail drawing techniques, through the shaded concept sketch. Using little more than some pencils, pens, and a few pieces of paper, he works through the development, not only of a creature, but of a “character”; staying true to the role of a concept artist… to convert the vision of a director into visual form. Starting with some rough ideas and thumbnails, Sang Jun refines his characters using an iterative approach, maintaining a rapid pace essential for production work. Once he has a form he is happy with, he then refines the concept in Adobe Photoshop® to adjust the form, silhouette, and to clean up any rough edges, all while staying true to the “character” the director had envisioned.
