Character Design Workshop at the Museum of Illustrators

 In the  character design workshop, we used pencils and  paper, colored pencils and markers to make our own character panels for a short story. The techniques  that were used were to make the panel were  changing the type sizes, and  using different fonts and various art styles along with small panels and storyboards to create a scene. We  had also learned how to create a character in different perspectives like front facing, back and side view, along with various facial expressions to show emotion. Getting used to drawing them over and over again while making it look similar sounded difficult but once drawing the facial expressions and stuff, it wasn't that hard, just a bit tiring. These skills can relate to the career of a graphic designer because you are designing characters and panels and playing around with type and stuff for children's books and these skills you use to create those can be applied to other things as well. We had seen some famous children's book covers and  some of the storyboards showing  the process of how they were created. Here are some of the picture we saw  at the Museum of illustrators, we saw some rough drafts, storyboard panels,  mostly paintings of book covers, and more
