Creature Design and Sculpture for Film

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the creature you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Concept Choose the character you want to create. The Sketch Do a basic sketch of the creature or character, refining the various elements until you're satisfied—AND inspired!

The Armature Create a sound and strong armature using the lessons as your guide. As well, using a pasta machine (or your hands) prepare your polymer clay with a base color that suits your creation. The Sculpture Begin to block out your creature, carefully considering the steps I've laid out for you in the lessons: "Blocking the Sculpture", "Secondary Forms", and "Adding Details". Adding Color Finally, begin the careful job of painting your creation to bring it to life. Make it fanciful and colorful, dark and spooky, muted and realistic—whatever suits your taste and your character best. And that's all! I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to them. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”

Art is among our highest callings as humans, and going on this adventure will be fulfilling, exciting, and extremely rewarding. Do your best as you create to be original.
