We're rolling out the red carpet for Helen Mingjue Chen, visual development artist and production designer at Sony Pictures Animation! Helen's Artist Workout will take you on a 30-day journey as you tackle film studies from some of her favorite movies and delve into the process and thinking behind filmmaking. Exercises will include:

- breaking down the principles of design, color, light, and composition
- discussing film language and dissecting choices that were made for various films
- training your artistic application and taking a broad approach to cinematic design
- how to apply similar processes in film to your own work
- and more!

For each workout, you'll receive a reference image, a sketch to get you started, and the final Photoshop file of Helen's work to keep as a reference.
