So I’ve just started this class and I’m really excited for it but I’ve hit a small road block.

One of the first assignments is to make basic character designs based off of shapes. My issues with this is that that’s not really cohesive to my style, I usually think more realistically when I do character design, more on the side of comic book style I suppose. I’m all for getting out of my comfort zone and this class teaches great techniques but since I want to get a portfolio piece out of this class it wouldn’t make sense for me to do something in a style that is not representative of me and my work, right?

So how would you suggest I go about this class? Stick to the class as it’s taught and not worry about getting a portfolio piece, or use the class as a guideline and mold it to fit me better?
