ONLINE ILLUSTRATION || Visual Development/ Background for animation|| WORKSHOP with Sophie Barocas.

If you want to work in Visual Development/ Background for animation, or you just want to create narrative images, this workshop is made for you !

I suggest you, for those three days, to create a strong and narrative image for animation with me, based on a brief. 

Day 1 – Story and Composition

. Instructor intro : from children book illustrator to matte painter on Arcane.

. Students intro : describe your goals and struggles in painting.

. We will start talking about how to find inspiration and how to create a moodboard for an animation project. 

. Then, we will see how to make up a simple story of a character in an environment through a drawing demo: how contrast 

makes an image interesting and readable.

Homework (during or between the sessions): create a thumbnail in grey values like a lightboard 

Day 2 – Mood and style 

. I will start with some character/ environment design tips in a 2D rendering.  

. Then, I’ll teach you to choose a color palette and lighting to create a mood! 

. I’ll talk about painting techniques, and how gouache plein air practice will help you to learn to synthesize real life.

. We will make a color thumbnail together. Questions are welcome ! 

Homework : put flat colors on your thumbnail like a colorscript

Day 3 – Believable scene

. On this last day, I will explain how to make the scene believable thanks to depth and realistic materials. 

. I will finish my painting demo showing how to push contrasts and details to make the subject stand out.

. The students will push their own painting as much as they like, and I will give them feedback during the session or afterwards.

. The last hour : portfolio review/ Q&A on the animation industry. 

Recommended materials

. Laptop and tablet

. Photoshop, Procreate or similar painting software.

Before the course: 

Students can write down their goals and struggles, and send me their portfolio the first day to have feedback at the end, if they want to.

*Frequent questions:

What happens if I can’t see the classes live one day?

• No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and posted on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want throughout the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your class live at the stipulated time, you will be able to see them on the platform until the end of the course. These video-classes, 1080p, posted on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course but cannot be copied or downloaded. Class recorded can also be viewed for 6 months  once the course is over.

When can I see the classes I did not attend live?

• Access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes that have already been taught or the proposed exercises.
