Weekly Drills 020 - #FunkoPopVinyl
This week we challenge you to pick your favourite and create a project with it as the hero feature. You can try pushing your illustration skills, maybe even try your hand at animating, or simply perfect your modelling skills.
This week your drill is to pick your favourite pop vinyl toy, create a project and then tag it #RookiesWeeklyDrills and #FunkoPopVinyl.
Founded in 1998, Funko ( ← great reference link) has been bringing pop culture toys to the masses for over 20 years. Funko Pop Vinyl figures take characters from popular culture - from movies and TV shows to music and sports stars - and model them in a cute chibi style. Chances are if there’s a character you love, there’s probably a Pop for that! So this week, we want to challenge you to pick your favourite and create a project with it as the hero feature. You can try pushing your illustration skills, maybe even try your hand at animating, or simply perfect your modelling skills. Either way, have a bit of fun with it!
