Congratulations, you have been hired by SCHOLASTIC MEDIA, one of the worlds leaders in children books and illustration!
Assignment Brief: Design a human family consisting of 6: Can use any relationship, or multiple relationships. Must have one female age 25-35, one male age 25-35, two school age children elementary to high school, you can add a fifth family member of your choice, and a pet. The family grouping must feel happy, or family photo peaceful even if there is underline tension.
Please stay within your drawing level.
No zombies, dead people, gore, horror, necromancers or anthropomorphic
human/animals mixtures. If you have an idea to match up to a particular studios portfolio requirements, please come talk to me. There is a large difference between Nickelodeon, Insomniac Games, Riot Games, Big Idea or Blizzard Entertainment.
Other guidelines: Think of time period and country of origin. (Do not cover up any faces with a mask, or face paint, war paint, bubble gum, etc... we have to see the character) If you are an Entertianment Art Students you can tie this into another project so from Prop Design or Environment Design. This creates unity within your portfolio, giving you a more comprehensive theme-oriented portfolio.
