Shadow? Shadows occur when an object obstructs the path of light. The shape of the shadow is determined by the shape of an object and is a direct result of light passing the edge of the object casting the shadow.

In 2D animation, the characters are all individual drawings, so giving your character a new costume is simply a matter of designing the new costume and then drawing it on the character. 3D is different because it's much more difficult and expensive to design multiple costume changes for the characters. But even so, costume changes for animated Disney characters is rare, and always have been, even in the 2D films. This is because we want the characters to have one iconic look that represents the way you think of the character.

‘Drawing Ideas’ Is a Primer for Thinking 

A series of standing-room only workshops on drawing by hand has led to a new and thorough, 304-page tome on the topic. Mark Baskinger, a professor of industrial design at Carnegie Mellon, and Will Bardel, an information design consultant, have published Drawing Ideas to bridge a number of knowledge bases out in the marketplace. Some books teach how to draw but aren’t suited to design, while others teach design and communications but don’t offer the fundamentals for drawing. Baskinger and Bardell teach both – and with the new book, they want to broaden their audience. “We wanted to hone the skill level from the beginner to the expert, so anybody could come to it and get something out of it,” Bardel says.

“We have a mutual interest in drawing as a means of communication, and as part of the design process,” Baskinger adds. “It’s portable – you can take it anywhere, and it’s easy to use,” Bardel says about the hand sketch.
