1. Drawing
This is of course the best part, since it defines OUR OWN STYLE. It´s what makes us different from the rest of all the animators from the planet. Our line and character express emotions so make sure you are not copying anyone. If you´d like to succeed be yourself ;). Mark your shadow areas with the red pencil, use the green to color light. Make sure always to draw CLOSED lines. I´ll make your life easier when it comes to paint. |

2. Scanning Aquire image from PS: Scan your drawing at 92dpi, color image, and adjust brightness and contrast as needed (we don´t want thay grey looking scann paper look on the drawing). Be carefull do not burn out the green lines. RULE: 72dpi becomes Scale 1:1 for your drawing. So If you got a backround image of 12x12cm and you need to zoom in it on compo, set up X2=144 dpi (72 x 2) and so on... on this e. 24x24 cms (4 mb...) . |
