Scott reviews ideation sketches that were submitted for his Monster Lab assignment. This clip is from the full critique where Scott reviews a student page that has empty space. While the sketches are good, Scott points out there’s a missed opportunity to create more sketches and to use the negative space as a challenge to create characters out of it. He’ll show you how he fills the page with character ideas and why it’s important for artists to really utilize the negative space with additional sketches.
