Visual Storytelling with Iain McCaig Vol.4Human Character and Environment Design |
Sample Clip
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."

"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."
