Les Runes : Origine & Usage Parmis la multitude des alphabets « magiques » il en est un que l’on retrouve à toute les sauces : cinéma, jeux vidéos, animation japonaise et bijoux de toutes sortes. Pour le profane, les runes sont le vecteur d’une mystique pure et authentique, un alphabet sorcier parfait ne pouvant cacher en son sein que la plus puissante des magies. Suivant ce principe les groupes de musique hard rock, métal et indus nous les servent donc à toutes les sauces.
Does Everybody Want To Be A Character Designer? A young cartoonist asked me to critique her work: Hello Mr. Kricfalusi, now after reading recently your posts from your blog (specially the parts where you comment about how old cartoons turned to what they are now, conservative, bland, etc.) they really called my attention-- it's something I usually don't hear. Therefore, that's why you're perfect for criticisms that I usually won't hear- for my drawings. Artistic Anatomy Is learning to draw anatomy in a classroom more secure (since there is a teacher to check the work and possibly a book to study from) in practicing artistic anatomy drawing, or should artists focus on just practicing from images on websites/blogs like this tumblr? Asketh - pjmx24 Depending on the size of your class and where you are, your teacher can be a great guide to help you and show you what areas you need to focus on more to improve and give you good material to work from! If your class size is too big (ideally a class of no more than 15 is optimal for a teacher to give extensive feedback to all students) you might not get enough feedback to really improve as much as possible to your full potential. Outside of class (or if you have no class) you should focus on drawing in a sketchbook dedicated for life drawing/anatomy. Even a page a week of studying will help you improve.
John K Stuff: Character Design 1: The Character Design Fallacy First of all, character design should never have been separated from the rest of the animation process. The handful of artists from classic cartoons that are renowned for their character designs, were not really character designers at all. They were layout artists. Layout artists who who were also animators. When they finally got around to designing characters, they knew the functional needs of the job - and they usually layed out the cartoons. Temple of the Seven Golden Camels: Contrast and Variety I often talk about how creating distinct and interesting characters with unique personalities is one of the most important parts of our trade. I'm warning you now, this is another one of those posts! Raymond Chandler was a writer of detective novels and the creator of the iconic hard boiled detective Philip Marlowe. Towards the end of his career, he sat down for an interview with Ian Fleming, the writer of the James Bond novels. If you Google something like "Raymond Chandler Ian Fleming interviews", you'll be able to find transcriptions and youtube excerpts so you can read it, or listen to it, or both. The entire thing is in a SoundCloud file that can be heard here.
Art, Animation & Film Analysis by James Chiang “The Garden” by Joan Miró. This majestic Spanish artist’s abstract compositions play beautifully with shape, line and color to help evoke sensations that lie within the realm of the surreal – ideas which would be too difficult to present in more realistic form. “What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains.” – Tennessee Williams Character Design:
Designing characters for animation – Here’s the Plan — Blog – Medium The process for creating Kat & Doug [Leer en español] Character design is, for me, one of the most important stages of pre-production. It can be compared with the casting process of a live-action film, where you’ll have to choose the perfect actor who will work with you before, during and after the premiere of the film (Diffusion and promotion). Catalogue of Curiosities This post comes via Mark Christiansen’s blog as well as Yowp (both blogs are inexhaustible resources of 50s-60s era Hanna-Barbera). Apparently a mysterious stranger has recently posted black and white Hanna-Barbera show bumpers on You Tube. With layouts and animation by studio stalwarts like Ed Benedict, Art Lozzi and Ed Love, these bumpers are quick, funny scenarios, highlighting various characters in the Hanna-Barbera stable and packed full of great gags and wonderful compositions. Another highlight of these bumpers: the voice acting of Daws Butler, as everyone from Snagglepuss to Huckleberry Hound and Rojay North as the voice of Mr. Jinks*. Hilarity does indeed ensue.
Tips on Character and Costume Design by Aaron Diaz Character design is paramount to pretty much any kind of comic. Most comics have things in them, and some of those things are characters, and those characters better be well-designed. Design allows the artist to communicate essential information to the reader about a character, and a good design allows for versatility independent of minor details. I’ll probably write a more specific post later about the mechanics of character design, but for now I’m just compiling a list of my personal favorite comic character designs.
Character Design 2: Primer What makes good character designs for animation? This is a difficult subject. The real answer is a talented character designer who understands character. No amount of abstract ingredients can make an artist into a designer if he doesn't have the gift. You can learn technical skills in art, but some talents are so rare that you just either have them or you don't.
