Learn how to develop, refine and depict fully realized worlds. We will discuss the basics of character, prop, and environment design with a focus on graphic novels (as well as other media). At the end of class, you will have a fully rendered character, setting, and inventory in Adobe Photoshop. Hopefully the beginning of a story in the making!
