Week 2 of APW 14 Day Character Design Challenge starts up today. We've seen so many wonderful and weird character designs over the 7 days so far...we look forward to many more. Have fun with Day 8's shape! Post on APW's facebook page, too! Thanks to Aya and Iris!

Day 4 of the APW 14 Day Character Design Challenge! Here's today's shape - it was a busy week but it's never too late to post some new character designs! Many thanks to Zen Rankin, Brendan Lindsay, and Linda Roy!

Day 3 of the APW Character Design Challenge!

Animation portfolios are not due for 4 months yet (give or take) but this has not stopped APW students from rising to the challenge!

Here's the basic shape for day 3!

Day 2!

Here's the shape from day 2 and another design from APW's Vince Peets.

Day 1 of the APW Character Design Challenge!

Day 1 of the APW Character Design Challenge inspired a bunch of crazy character designs. This character (designed by APW's Vince Peets) was taken from a number of designs that people posted on our APW facebook page. They are all based on the shape (1/14). You can see more of this as it developes on the APW facebook page.

14 Day Character Design Challenge Oct. 24 to Nov. 7!

Take APW's challenge and design a character a day for 14 days. Two weeks of a new design everyday. It should be fun - everyday we'll post a shape on the APW facebook page. Use the shape as a starting point/inspiration and design a character! Just one pose will do it - try not to spend more than 15 minutes on this - the idea is to explore different shapes while designing 14 one-a-day characters . It's pretty wide open.

Starting on Monday, October 24th and continuing until Monday November 7th there will be a basic shape posted on our facebook - one new shape at 9am each morning. Feel free to post your drawings on our facebook page, too! Have fun!
