Combining creativity and knowledge of specialist technology, coupled with strong industry links, you will graduate with the skills required for roles as an environment artist, character artist, lead artist, technical artist or director. It’s a common myth that is you study a Vocational Qualification, you won’t be able to go on to University, or that you’ll limit your options. Sometimes, because of the practical and work-environment based work you complete, it actually gives you the edge! You can find out more about the course Hazel took HERE

Character Artists undertake the task of transforming 2D illustrations into 3D models with a skeletal framework, functioning limbs and finished texture. The role of the Character Artist in live action and animated features is to create concept art based on the script and develop it throughout the production process.

Character designers visualise and create the look of individual characters. They work from descriptions given to them by the director. These might include notes on a character’s personality as well as physical traits. Character designers take inspiration from the script and concept art to design characters. They communicate the characters’ personalities through artwork of facial expressions and physical poses.
