Animated films are full of all kinds of characters, but how do creators actually invent them? And what do they pay attention to when designing a brand-new character? Animator Saber Aidarus, creator of @SaberOH!, known from TikTok, will tell you all about it and show you his own animations. Then you’ll get to know the tools about designing your own character: what kind of story does it belong in, and why does it look the way it does? Who knows, you might just invent the next Spiderman, Sonic or Spongebob after this workshop!
