Manchester Metropolitan Character design workshop

A2 Student Mo Morris attended a workshop at Manchester Metropolitan University with their Outreach department this weekend - looking at Character design. During the workshop the students were given strategies to help bring characters to life. Mo will use this work in his A2 Personal investigation project as his project is comic book illustration.
