Ever have a problem with a character you’ve been developing for your own comic, children’s book, or video game, and you just can’t get it to look right? Ever feel like your character is too flat, too stiff, or just lifeless? Have you ever wanted to know professional artists approach character design?

I’m doing an all-day character design workshop for SVS next month. It’s going to solve all those character design problems for you. Click here for more info.

Jake Parker, Brandon Jeffords, and Will Terry.

My buddy Brandon Jeffords is an animation industry veteran, who most recently headed up the story department on Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2. An accomplished character designer, he’ll be demonstrating how he goes from idea to final design.

You’ll also learn from Will Terry, illustrator of over 40 children’s books and one of the best teachers I’ve ever come across. I love his teaching style, and I think you will too.

Maybe the best part of this class is the one-on-one teaching time we are offering. One of the best ways to learn is to actually show your work and talk with a pro. If you want some one-on-one online teaching time with me or Will, better hop on fast. Space is limited to 25 spots and it looks like they’re filling up fast.

When: Saturday December 14, 2013 beginning at 8:00am MST (10:00am NYC – 7:00am Cali)

Where: Your bedroom? Your office? The kitchen table? You pick, just make sure you have a solid internet connection and GoToMeeting loaded up on your computer.

Why: Because I subscribe to SVS’s mission statement: to teach, empower, and inspire visual storytellers. I want YOU to be able to live YOUR artistic dreams, and that will only happen if you kill at drawing.

WHY?!!: I just told you. Go take a nap.

Sweet! Glad to have you on board. Here’s the link to sign up and pay admission:
