Create a narrative universe for your characters based on your own experiences
Gastón Caba is an illustrator, character designer and passionate about everything abnormal and nonsense of everyday life.
In this course, Gastón will teach you his technique of creating characters and then share a series of exercises to unlock creativity based on experiences, dreams and desires.
To do this, you will create a character from scratch, you will define the variables that help build your style and you will look for ideas without stopping (inspired by your everyday experiences) that you will write down in a notebook.
The goal is to learn to imagine complex universes for your characters and stories that allow you to create images with which to feed a blog or social networks daily.
As Gastón Caba says "Never believe that you have nothing to tell because there is a universe inside you" .
