This masterclass is a focused introduction to the thinking behind Neville Page Academy. It is intended to give you a taste of what will be explained in-depth during an 8 week Cohort, where we go deeper — with live, interactive, guided design development, discussion, process, critique, and professional creative discipline.
I’m releasing a special 2-hour edited masterclass on creature design and design thinking.
I’ll be developing an original creature head from the ground up — using reference, anatomy, function, silhouette, story, and discovery as the foundation.
This will include traditional drawing, digital drawing and sculpting in Z-Brush.
You will also have access to the final Z-Brush model. Although NPA will own the rights to the design, you can use it personally to learn more from it. You can even print it out if you want.
I’ll also be drawing from some of the philosophical approaches I used while working on Avatar, not to recreate anything from that world, but to show how real-world observation and design logic can lead to something original.
