Kirk Wallace, Owner of BoneHaus, a creative studio, invites you to a workshop and fireside chat to talk illustration, design and building characters. With his latest published Skillshare course Storytelling Through Details! Building a Stylized Character in Adobe Illustrator Kirk will walk through a super accessible process to create a self portrait. It’s not about the perfect jawline, or shading things so they look super realistic, we’ll create a portrait based on what we love, what we wear, how we present ourselves to the world. Those details are what make us special! Kirk has created and collaborated with top agencies and clients like Adobe, Apple, Disney/Pixar, and Google. He will walk through his thought process when creating a character, from writing ideas to sketching and stylizing shapes and finally finishing the character off with some basic analog tools. Kirk will discuss how to write out all the things that make you, you! We’ll journal a bit on what makes us unique, find some simple references of our favorite clothes, or toys we had growing up, maybe you wear a certain necklace because it’s special to you. And then the most fun part is finding a way to draw those things in a simple, non-intimidating way. We’ll be joined by AIGA Board member, fellow design practice owner and design enthusiast, Amy Parker, to discuss ideas about illustration, design and running a practice for an exciting conversation prior to the workshop!
