Your Character/Set Doodles and Orthos are due next Tuesday.
Character/Set Doodles
Super rough sketches that allow you to explore character and set designs in a fun, messy way. Don't worry about perfection, just have fun. If you think you "suck" at drawing, that's great, because this assignment requires no drawing, only doodling!
Fill up 2-3 pages of a sketchbook with doodles, scan them, and bring them and the files to class on Tuesday.
Orthos
Now that you've doodled, take the best character doodle and turn it into an orthographic model sheet (Ortho). An ortho model sheet is a front and side view of your character, drawn to scale.
This may sound difficult, but it's really not that bad, and you can even do it in Illustrator to make it easier.
Orthos should have the characters drawn from the front and side
The character's arms should be up and out to the side (see images below)
The character's legs should be slightly spread apart (shoulder width or greater)
Create one model sheet for each main characer or object in your animation.
Spending time on the ortho model sheet will greatly reduce the time you spend modeling.
Scanned/exported Ortho model sheets are due next class.
Model Sheet examples:
Starfish
Tabby (missing true front and side views, but great design)
Mia <-- feet should be wider apart for modeling
Rael
