About Instructor

Rob Kelsey

Rob is a Chicago-based art maker, whose practice spans many media, not just illustration. But whether he’s working on a sculpture, mask, painting, or game, it all begins with pen on paper. After graduating from DePaul in 2015 with a degree in Animation for Games, he began expanding his horizons into book arts, printmaking, and more. Whatever media he’s working in, his work is unified by a sense of the macabre, an emphasis on interaction, and the belief that the physical presence of a piece is vital to its essence.

I had a lot of fun in this class. I definitely need more practice on my hands and feet but other than that I got a pretty good goblin. It was fun watching his goblins. My only suggestion would be maybe setting up a camera on the other side since he’s OFD, but other than that, he’s a very enjoyable teacher and it was a very cool subject!

I don't do a lot of sketching and this was a great start to it! Loved the intro to figure drawing and goblins are looser, so gave me more freedom to play.
