Character Design courses in London, UK

Hi everyone, I’m currently studying to become a character artist. I work on a lot of 3D models using Maya and sculpting with Mudbox/Zbrush. However after a few years of doing 3D, I’ve wanted to start gaining some traditional art skills and would like to hone them through a course/short course of some kind. The only problem is a lot of the art courses I’ve found in London are very ‘essay based’, and don’t really concentrate on the techniques and know how.

Also, I wanted my focus to be around character design and I can’t seem to find any that focus on this element of artwork. I’m 27 now and would like to start working in game development/film as soon as possible, so at the most I’d like the course duration to be a year, just to gain some idea of fundamentals. I’ve just come back from the night shift at work so I apologise if any waffling has occured in this wall of text. <img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”> If anyone could provide any information it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Why not look at Wimbledon School of Art. We’re a film/tv/theatre specialised art school. By ‘traditional methods’ what do you mean? We do a summer school programme in many fields, plus we do a technical arts degree which covers classical life scupture, sfx, moulding and casting etc, or film and tv production design, which does character design work among other things. (Which is what I do). Give them a call and see what’s available.
