Character Sheet

In animation, a character sheet, also known as a character board, character study or simply a study, is a document used to help the animators understand the appearance, poses, and gestures of an animated character.

I went through I few character sheets until I found one which I liked, this one belonging to the beloved characters Tweety and Sylvester. In this model sheet you're just getting a good idea of the characters physically from different angles rather than different emotions. However I think I will end up using some emotions to show variety. As then it will show more of a character sheet than 'model sheet'

I did this with my character iteration that I had at the time that I was happy with, I showed the front, 3/4 front, 3/4 back, side and back. It gives the audience a good idea of what the whole character looks like from all angles. And importantly I can progress in developing him further,I can pick out bits about him I want to improve in more detail and I can start to figure out how to start animating him.

I used photo shop and tablet to add colour to my character for my character sheet, It's just very basic, but I'm already pretty happy with the colours. I would play with colours a little more, add tone. And possibly take away the black outline. I feel like his colour/shape holds itself enough.

The background was originally an off colour, I didn't think about his before I started painting, as a result the colours are slightly off. Which isn't too bad, editing was a little tricky.
