Game Design Workshop: Character Design
8 April 13:30-16:30-Introduction to Character Design Workshop
Service Description
Introduction to Character Design Workshop Date: 8 April Time: 13:30-16:30 Cost: £50 (includes all materials and refreshments) Ever wondered what makes a character truly stand out in a game or comic? This dynamic, hands-on workshop is the perfect follow-on from our Game Design session, or a standalone experience for anyone excited to create original characters. Students will focus on designing a character for the game they worked on in the morning session—or, if they missed it, they can design a character for someone else’s game or invent a completely new game of their own. What You’ll Learn In this workshop, we’ll explore key techniques for creating memorable, expressive characters: 1. Silhouette – Learn how strong outlines make characters instantly recognisable, even in shadow. Shape and posture are tools to make designs readable and iconic. 2. Palette – Colour sets mood, reflects personality, and helps tell a story through your character. 3. Exaggeration – Stylising features like size, movement, or expressions makes characters dynamic and memorable without losing clarity. 4. Shape Language – Circles, squares, and triangles communicate traits like strength, friendliness, or danger. Workshop Activities 1. Sketch character concepts, experimenting with poses, expressions, and features. 2. Refine your favourite design into a fully realised character concept. 3.Receive feedback and learn tips to make your character ready for a game, comic, or animated story world. By the end of the session, students will leave with a portfolio of sketches and a finished character concept, ready to step into their own game or creative project. No experience is required—just bring your creativity and curiosity!
