With Michael Camacho, Emmy-nominated Character Designer
We’ll learn the classical way of studying and practicing drawing and how it applies to the animation industry. If they want to improve their design skills or overall drawing ability, come study with animation industry veteran Michael Camacho.
Michael studied art at Fresno City College then transferred to Cal State Fullerton where he got his bachelor’s degree in Illustration. Work history: internship at Cartoon Network, then Background and Prop Designer working on Clarence for Cartoon Network. The next 10 years he worked in the animation industry for studios such as Netflix, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Bento Box and Rough Draft Animation; was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for his work on Summer Camp Island where he was Lead Character Designer.
Recommended for Junior High & High School Students, Adults are welcome to learn too!
This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to learn from a master in the animation industry! Come and learn from Michael! His desire is to teach aspiring Animation artists, not only how to draw properly, and how to build characters, but what does a ‘day in the life’ of an animator look like, what is collaboration, reference materials, and so much more!
