APW FREE TUITION CONTEST PRO TIP #4

We have former APW student Justice Wong to thank for this weeks tip.

Justice is professionally active as a character designer in Hong Kong at present!

Happy drawing.

Given that every opportunity is a chance to learn something, and also that we're a school that teaches people how to draw, we figured we'd seize the opportunity afforded us to actually teach you something about drawing character designs by using the Free Tuition Contest as the vehicle for delivering the lessons....plus, it gives you a better chance at winning the contest!

Here's how.

We've asked former students and friends of the Animation Portfolio Workshop ( who are now working as professionals in the animation/illustration industry ) to give us their all time 'desert island ' character design tip, ( you know the one you'd give to the prospective 'last character designer left on earth ' type of deal after the Mayan apocalypse is all done, etc ) .....that simple pearl of knowledge that will actually help you to draw better characters if you put it into practice relentlessly.

Go to our website here:

APW Free Tuition Contest Pro Tip

and carefully study, and practice the weekly tip that we 'll post there once a week...heck, even if your not going to do the contest this stuff will do you a lot of good!

Our first Pro Tip is from Vince Peets, Director of the Workshop, and accomplished storyboard / character designer / animator...etc.

Get cracking!

I'm hoping it will inspire as many of you as possible to take a shot at drawing up some character designs and submitting them to try and win yourself a free spot in our upcoming 2013 session

Good luck!
