WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to assemble visual references for an original character idea.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Great character designs don't just jump straight out of the imagination. Artists make them by combining lots of reference images into something new.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will complete a mood board activity to flesh out the visual idea of a character before you draw it.
