My process was taking a character from a show that looks the most similar to me (facially) and trying my best to replicate it. I tried analyzing and fleshing out all the different types of components of what the show was known for and applying it to my drawings! I really enjoyed trying it out and learning how each style differs from one another. One thing I learned about drawing characters is the amount of work and detail it takes to keep it consistent. Overall, it was very fun!]]> 2021-03-05 18:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274920390 99039235 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274924791 Getting to draw characters from shows and games was really fun. Being able to be creative and make our own art work is enjoyable.I learned that there are many different styles of cartoons.

Instead of sketching, outlining, and coloring each one individually, I sketched everything first, then outlined everything, and lastly colored everything so I had the most consistency. I enjoyed seeing the characters come together in the end the most, it was really rewarding. One thing that I learned about drawing characters is that there's a lot of different way to do it. The thing that fascinated me the most about the differences between the styles was they way that each of them did line art. For example, Gravity Falls uses the same shape and weight line all across the characters with no tapering where as Pokémon uses lots of tapering and different weights. ]]> 2021-03-05 18:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274926955 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274928198 One thing I learned from this? Finding styles that weren't similar to mine and I wanted to draw was a bti difficult]]> 2021-03-05 18:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274928198 99048078 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274938841 I enjoyed experimenting with different art styles. I only worked on this during class so I can work on outside school things with the rest of my time in the day. What I learned from this is that shading will vary on what cartoon the character is in. In one cartoon there's a lot of shading, but another cartoon will only use a little bit a shading.]]> 2021-03-05 18:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274938841 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274973201 Drawing 5 diffrent art styles was really fun! Pulling up refrences from the shows and studing the line art as well as shading was fun to learn about. One thing I found interesting was how a lot of shows use diffrent colors to show their tone. ]]> 2021-03-05 18:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1274973201 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1276561838 While working on each of the drawing styles I looked through a lot of the characters from their show/artist to get a grasp on how they draw the way they do. I really enjoyed working with not only different shapes and lines but I also really enjoyed matching the color palettes that the shows/artists often used consistently and they were uniquely different. Something I learned from this assignment is how much I actually enjoy drawing in these different styles. It noticed how drastically different each one can be and I really enjoyed thoroughly looking through each one to find their differences and similarities.]]> 2021-03-06 12:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1276561838 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1280352373 For the creation of these drawings, I mainly worked off of references, going bit by bit and overlaying my references to get the most accurate drawings possible. I have only colored one, because I realized that it would take far too long to color all six. I enjoyed getting it done, this kind of thing is not something I particularly enjoy. For me, this was mainly something to help me ease back into drawing on computer, and drawing neat lines. I think it has more or less accomplished that. ]]> 2021-03-08 05:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1280352373 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1286420233 First off, this took me forever. Using the watch time of a podcast I was listening too, it took me almost 18 hours to finish. Damn I am slow at drawing... For every drawing I found one picture for a pose/angle reference and then many others to figure out the important aspects of each art style. One thing I enjoyed about the project was how relaxing it was. I put on a podcast and just enjoyed the calmness for a few hours each day. One thing I learned was how important smoothing and pressure was. By turning up smoothing I could get super clean lines that were not shaky. By controlling and modifying pressure I was able to create tapered and sharp lines. Finding the perfect balance of smoothing and pressure helped me emulate the different styles. ALSO another thing I learned from this was that a huge majority of animated characters have bangs. It was super difficult to find characters that did not have hair that covered their forehead in someway, random but weird.]]> 2021-03-09 08:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1286420233 99034411 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289015310 For this creation of these drawings, I mainly was using google draw for the last parts of the characters to design the lines for the hairs as you may see in this photo. It took a couple hours finding a animation software that I can easily create in a fast way but use the patience. I had a lot of fun creating I just wish my computer wasn't so laggy.]]> 2021-03-09 17:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289015310 99036313 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289113488 To make this I first sketched out each style of drawing with pencil and then I just colored it in. One thing I enjoyed was seeing what i could do throughout the process. I don't usually draw cartoon characters but I relized that many tiny details can change it in many ways.]]> 2021-03-09 18:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289113488 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289187705 In order to get this assignment done I chose a few of my favorite characters and used a reference to copy the character as exact as I could. Overall it was interesting to see how if I made one mistake it could change the character as a whole. I learned that every character has so many differences and you’re only limited by your imagination. ]]> 2021-03-09 18:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1289187705 99048067 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1290283871 I based all my drawing off the prior video and did each drawing based off different animation shows such as adventure time, gravity falls ,and animal crossing and etc. Each one describes different characters I would add onto each show.]]> 2021-03-09 23:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1290283871 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1308703337 The first thing for me doing this project was get the 6 of my favorite characters from: Rick and Morty, Adventure time, The Last Airbender Avatar, Bobs burgers, The Nightmare before Christmas and Price from Call of duty Modern Warfare 2. I enjoyed being able to recreate the character into a new form of one of my favorite gaming character. I that you can't always get the outline always perfect because it took a couple of try's to get it right.]]> 2021-03-15 02:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1308703337 https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1332279796 For drawing the characters, I looked up multiple reference photos for the certain style I was trying to do, and combined elements from multiple references. Some characters took a while, because it was hard to get the style right or do the line work. I enjoyed drawing in a bunch of styles I like, and learning more about the components of them and how they work. One thing I learned about drawing characters is it can be very hard to get smooth lines, and keep consistency (especially for simpler characters, surprisingly enough, because it is more noticeable when you mess up). ]]> 2021-03-20 10:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lwhempner1/s8kwdioemicl2jxs/wish/1332279796
