About the presentation

Hear about 马库斯威廉姆斯’ journey from a young aspiring artist to landing his first official art job working with Cartoon Network drawing the PowerPuff Girls! Learn how freelance illustration work shaped his initial career working with media giants like 3月vel, Sony Pictures Animation, 华纳兄弟, Nickelodeon and Amazon to name a few, but soon pushed him toward co-creating and publishing his very own comic series, “Tuskegee Heirs – Flames of Destiny.” Help create a brand new original character live as Williams draws on screen taking suggestions and incorporating them into the art.

Throughout this segment, Williams will highlight the powerful foundational basics of digital art tools (layers, 撤销/重做, 调整, 着色, 等.) as he encourages students with the confidence needed to make their own potential creative career path using their imaginations. His takeaway message is that all of us can make a living using our creativity, we simply have to fall in love with practice and learn how to make a business out of our passions.
