HOMEWORK
- Decide what STYLE you want to do
- Group Leader has final say (Your most quiet classmate is the group leader for this week)
- Create your STYLE GUIDE
- 8 PAGES per student
- 7 of those pages can cover:
- Hands and Feet
- Body
- Expressions
- Line Weight
- Proportions
- Facial Features
- How to design one of your character
- And anything else that would apply
- Once the STYLE GUIDE is figured out
- Your 8th page is 3 of the characters drawn in this NEW STYLE
- Put ALL YOUR CHARACTERS design in one GROUP LINEUP
OPTIONAL (but recommended)
- Create a layout for the page so the style guide looks consistent across the board from each student
- It should look/feel as if one person designed the style guide
TIPS
- Pick a style that the teams 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 complete it, 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/legs?
- 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?
CLASS NOTES
- Google animation style guides as a starting point
