Stylization

Theory:

• Facade stylization: concept and references, silhouette and composition, architectural sketches
• Search for color solutions
• Textures in stylization
• Graphic technique
• Bad design and good design – what’s the difference?

Practice:

• Facade stylization
• Rendering an architectural object: stylized rendering, searching for graphic techniques, accentuating by means of detailing
• Styling of objects: work with the idea through the design of objects, work with photo references, search for associations and conceptual solutions, search for expressive images within the task, search for color solutions
• Character styling: stylized anatomy, simplifying and believable construction, working with photo references, working with the character’s personality through its design, finding color solutions
• Stylization of objects: rendering

Theory:

• Composition in the design, design style in combination with the project style, additional chips and elements in the design of the project
• Your own style – what it is and how to look for it
• Formal composition
• Plant stylization and bioplasticity. Ways of working with references

Practice:

• Character styling: working with atmosphere through color and textures, working with photo references, graphic technique and working with stylized textures of different materials. Render
• Project Submission
• Stylization and bioplastic plants: work with composition and geometry, work with photo references, search for interesting silhouette solutions, create a line of plants for the chosen idea, atmosphere and natural region
• Stylizing plants: working with atmosphere through color and textures, working with silhouettes and composition within them, graphic technique and working with stylized textures. Render
• Animal styling: work with photo-references, analysis and simplification of initial anatomy, search for expressive silhouettes and composition in the framework of the task, search for a bright catching character, search for color solutions, work with anatomy of the face and emotion of the character. Render

Theory:

• Introduction to concept art: goals and objectives, relations of forms, point of focus, associativity, integrity, functionality, psychology of perception
• Searching for an idea and drafting TOR
• Tone keys and their meaning

Practice:

• Animal styling: working with textures and color, finding a graphic technique to dispose of wool/scales/feathers, etc., finding a bright clinging character, working with muzzle anatomy and character emotion, working with dynamic character poses. Render
• Illustration. B/W sketches and search for color: work with photo references, analysis and simplification of organic forms, composition of the frame, selection of the focal point, search for expressive silhouettes and composition of objects, selection of colors taking into account the chosen natural area and the mood of the project.
• Illustration. Stylized rendering: working with color and light, atmospherics, working with textures, stylized illustration rendering
• Formalizing the final course submission
