A project will take you from concept to final illustration, walking you step by step through poses, designs and costumes before culminating in a final scene. Through discussion and demonstrations and one-to-one tutoring you will undertake exercises and create finished illustrations. We will look at the relationship between layered messages, style and content, and will discuss each other's work. . Your work will be reviewed by you and your tutor on a weekly basis. Your tutor will advise you on progress and provide verbal and written feedback.
