Every awesome character needs an awesome world to live in! In this course, Professional illustrator Jake Parker, along with Will Terry, teaches how to design appealing and believable exterior environments.
Environment design is about more than just making a cool landscape. It's key component of good visual storytelling!
The environment describes the world your character lives in. Where does it take place? Why does it take place there? How does it shape your character's point of view? It can set the whole tone and mood for the story.
Characters don't just exist in a void. At some point, they need to go out into the world and live their stories!
In this course, Jake Parker, with help from Will Terry, will guide you through the process of designing appealing exterior environments.
