As members of the APW team, Sonia Furier and Zen Rankin have recently completed working with students in the <b><a href="http://www.animationportfolioworkshop.com/uncategorized/2013-final-portfolio-reviews" target="_blank">2012/2013 sessions of the workshop</a>. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">APW was fortunate to have had these two artists as students some short years ago.

Hong Kong animation artist Justice Wong's tip is all about using gesture drawing as a design tool. Justice begins his character design process with an energetic gesture drawing and adds forms that grow organically out of the gesture to arrive at a rough design for a charcter. <a href="http://www.animationportfolioworkshop.com/apw-character-design-contest/pro-tip-1-simple-shape/pro-tip-4-shape-curves" target="_blank">Click here for the Pro-Tip.</a><br />

Week 1!From Monday, November 19 to Monday, December 3, everyday at 9am a new daily gesture drawing will be posted on the <b><a href="http://www.animationportfolioworkshop.com/uncategorized/14-days-14-character-designs-2">APW website</a></b>. Your task, should you accept it, is to design a new animation character everyday for 14 days. Think of it as an intensive 14 day design work-out. The idea is simple - you observe the daily gesture drawing and look for movement, shape, direction to inspire a new character design each day for two weeks. <br />

Feel free to share your drawings by posting them on our <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Animation-Portfolio-Workshop/238841492811157?sk=wall&filter=1">APW facebook page</a></b>. Like the page and post your drawings. We look forward to seeing all kinds of crazy, goofy, dark weird character designs! For anyone who will be putting together an <a href="http://www.animationportfolioworkshop.com/uncategorized/apw-in-top-100-animation-schools" target="_blank">animation portfolio</a>, this is perfect practice for the character design component.

Josh Salmon Miller is a TA with the Animation Portfolio Workshop. Currently, he's working with the students of the 2012/13 Session as they work toward preparing their animation portfolios. Josh was in their shoes not too long ago as he studied with the APW (<a href="http://www.animationportfolioworkshop.com/student-portfolios/joshua-salmon-miller">check out his animation entrance portfolio</a>) and used his drawings to get into Seneca Animation Arts Centre up at York University in Toronto. Have a look at Josh's progress...<br />

Enjoy!<br />
This video happening took place after we finished up a "post portfolio session". Gerard Sternik and Vince Peets shared ideas with a group of APW students who just finished up the workshop and wanted a bit of guidance on continuing to make progress with their drawing. We actually got some good work done during this post-portfolio session (in addition to the movie of course).<br />
