WHAT TO EXPECT
➡️ A special deep dive into facial expressions and character consistency across a wide range of expressions
➡️ Shape language: How to use shapes to evoke liveliness
➡️ Proportions: Creating appeal by carefully designing proportions
➡️ Volume: A sound understanding of volumes, and keeping them consistent
➡️ Gesture: Finding the long axis curve of a pose
➡️ Body language: Showing weight and movement in design
Throughout the day, you explore these concepts through live demonstrations by Wouter, practical exercises, assignments and personal feedback in a small group setting.
