In this course, we start from the base with free doodling and out of this intuitive information we can create a whole world of creatures! And it is your very own, unique world! I will show you how to create this kind of doodles and how to create characters step by step. I will give you insight in good materials to use for model building on a small budget. We will build a small model step by step. And since I like animation, I will put in little pieces of animation wherever I can!
The end product can be a small puppet, or a cool doodle . Let´s dive into our secret doodle world!
You can relate to one of the exercises in the videos.
- Fill a paper with a doodle, than move with a piece of plastic (with small eyes drawn on it) over the drawing and look for hidden creatures. Draw your favorite creature. Or draw with someone else! That is also fun!
- Draw lot´s of basic forms (or combined forms) on a strong piece of paper or cardboard, using a thick black marker. Draw small and bigger forms, like in the video. Cut them all out carefully, until you have a nice collection of shapes and forms. Now go and collect all kind of everyday objects, look at the forms or textures, can you imagine them to be part of a creature? Then put both collections on a table and start playing with them and combine them. You will find the most funny creatures! Make pictures of them and post them here!
- Try to make a small model like in the video about building a puppet. If you have the right materials. You should be able to get these materials in hobby shops. Have fun!
