Week 03 - Class Notes
HOMEWORK
- Decide what STYLE you want to do
- Group Leader has final say (Your most quiet classmate is group leader)
- Create your STYLE GUIDE
- 6 PAGES per student
- The Pages can cover:
- Hands and Feet
- Body
- Expressions
- Misc
- Line weight
- Proportion
- Facial Features
- And anything else that would apply
- Once the STYLE GUIDE is figured out
- Draw the 3 CHARACTERS that you've picked in this NEW STYLE
- Put ALL THE CHARACTERS design in one GROUP LINEUP
TIPS
- Pick a style that the team feels enthusiastic to work on (that doesn't mean it has to be an easy style)
- Keep in mind you only have a week to do this, so be mindful of the overall complexity
- You can choose to modify an existing style
- Decide on some early rules when picking your style:
- Does it have multiple views?
- Are there joints in the arms?
- Perspective or no perspective?
- Squash and Stretch?
- Texture, no texture?
- Line weight?
- Is it shape design heavy?
- Is it Line weight heavy?
- What's the overall mood and theme? Funny, serious, bizarre?
