Character Model Sheets

In order for the characters to be able to be planned and then put into animation, the characters will first need to be able to be drawn and shown at different angles. This will then allow the animators to be able to plan the foreground, background and even the colour of the characters.
While I am going to be doing this for my own character in Max Is Lost. So this means that I will have to hand draw my main character Max at different angles.

As you can see below this is a scene from the film Monsters Inc and the first part of the process is for the artist to storyboard what the scene will look like, after this it will then be put through the computer so that it can be edited. Another example that you can see on the right is from the Lion King and is the main person Simba. At the beginning of the film the artists will need to be able to draw Simba from every angle and get all of the emotions down. Below you will be able to see other character sheets from films such as Aladdin, Lady & The Tramp and Snow White.
