I hope this hasn't already been asked and if I missed an announcement about it, I apologize in advance.

I was just curious as to whether or not there will be more Gnomon Masterclasses this year or has the focus this year been (understandable) moved to the new Gnomon Online service? The masterclasses are always fantastic and I unfortunately missed last years.

Thanks guys.
Cheers,

Thank you and all the users and myself would appreciate a tutorial teaching how to do a facial rig for character animation.

My name is Kathy. I've been checking out gnomon's stuff for years now but joined the forums only today.

I am almost on my second year after art college, where I majored in media arts and animation due to the lack of concept art courses, and while I landed a short, animated feature gig it ended up going belly up due to financial issues.

I hope to break back into the industry but I guess I might need some more practice before my art is at the 'industry level'.

If someone could check out my portfolio and give me some pointers, what am I doing right, wrong, and what could be improved, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
