Character Design Creativity Camp with Alexandria Neonakis

Wednesdays, July 8 – 29

3:00 - 5:00 PM PDT | 6:00 - 8:00 PM EDT

Wacom Creativity Camp is a free online character design workshop series happening this July! It’s taught by professional character designer and concept artist Alexandria Neonakis, and is perfect for young folks, beginning artists, or anyone else who wants to strengthen their character design skills. It's free, and you don’t need any digital art tools to participate – pencil and paper is fine! 

You’ll draw along with Alex, learning the basics – from the building blocks of great character designs to nailing costumes, accessories, and other details – and will end up with a completed model sheet! Throughout, you’ll also get expert feedback and support from a professional artist. 

Fill out the form on this page to register! We’ll be sending you emails with links to add the events to your calendar, reminders when it’s time for the workshops, and recaps after each session in case you miss one – please add wacomamericas@news.wacom.com to your contacts and/or make sure to check your junk / spam folders so you don’t miss any updates or reminders!
