Week 1 Summary and Links

Hey everyone! Hopefully you enjoyed your first class of creature designs. I know we didn't really get to do any art stuff this week but I want you guys to spend the time doing the research and brainstorming because it is really important and will be helpful in the weeks to come.

Here are the links to some interesting reads regarding creature design:

Homework:
Build a Pureref board of maximum 30 images accompanied with some dot point notes
explaining the different directions that you may want to take for your creature.
You may also begin some rough sketches but the focus of the week should be on doing
the research

No need to post for feedback this week. Just make sure your reference boards are uploaded by the beginning of class next week so that we can go through them together.

Looking forward to the rest of the term and the awesome work you guys are gonna produce! :)
