Art Direction For Character Designers - New Demo. Temple of the Seven Golden Camels: Costume Design, Character and Story. One of the differences between 2D and 3D animation that people don't talk about much is how differently you have to approach costume in each medium.
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. When I say "Snow White", you think of the character with her distinctive blue, red and yellow dress. The dress is a big part of her distinctive appearance.

The layout and the characters should work in harmony when it comes to telling a story and informing the audience about the emotions that the character is feeling.

What makes good character designs for animation? This is a difficult subject. The real answer is a talented character designer who understands character.

One of the most basic and perplexing challenges a board artist faces is how to get the desired emotional response from the audience. Many times people will board a dramatic and serious scene, only to find that when they pitch it to a room full of fellow board artists, the audience doesn't take it as it was intended and breaks into laughs instead. Or vice versa...a board artist will pitch a scene that's meant to be funny and the room will be totally quiet, with no laughter happening at all. A big part of what makes us feel like we should laugh at a scene or take it seriously is the visual cues that are used within the sequence.
