Before you begin
Bring an original idea and only files you own or have permission to use. You can plan the assignment without running a paid job. Existing age, consent and account restrictions still apply.
Practice uses the tools currently available to your account. Read the live estimate before each paid action; credits, subscriptions, provider access and faculty feedback are not included merely by reading this class.
The class
Define the task
Invent an adult character with a role, silhouette and three stable traits. Open Character Lab and create a private named character. Saving controls is different from paying to generate a sheet or performance.
Work in the tool
Set the available design controls and save a version. Record what changed and reopen it to confirm persistence. Apply written direction only after reading its current credit estimate.
Compare and revise
If an image tool is available, make a reference sheet and compare clothing, proportions and face across views. Movement and voice have their own tool, age and consent gates; a saved design does not grant them automatically.
Finish and keep it
Keep the character private until you deliberately share it. Add it to a story as a reference while retaining the original design. Record which traits must remain consistent in later shots.
Your practical assignment
Deliver a saved character brief and a consistency checklist, with a sheet only if eligible and available.
Review your work
Could another creator recognize and use the same fictional character without guessing its key traits?
- Purpose: the work answers the brief and the specific review question.
- Craft: you identify defects, compare a deliberate revision and verify the final file.
- Process: sources, permissions, settings and decisions are documented honestly.
