Designing with digital Series, Cesar Dacol Jr. (Gnomon Workshop)
.
Cesar’s training tutorials allow you to follow along as he demonstrates the techniques used by the artist when designing characters for feature films. Whether you are a professional working in films or a weekend artist, you will benefit from the structured forethought that each tutorial carries. Each of the series focuses on differing aspects of the sculptural process. As Cesar says,” Foundation is at the root of everything we do as a sculptor. So why not approach every design with that firmly in mind. Then the character designing process becomes firmly grounded in reality. Which in turns allows our imagination to roam freely throughout the creative process. “
