Brian. animation styles








Most cartoonist tend to exaggerate expressions and movement, which helps to communicate in drawing because i find that it's hard to give a drawing emotions without exaggerating a little though that's fine for a very cartoony style, and for something to be comical, but for more serious cartoons the style tends to be more realistic.

So to express movement better they also exaggerate but they also add the movement guides from a comic.

Some of these cartoons are directly taken form comics or manga, tat cuts the work in half but also allows for more realism and more detail.







Of course digital media like photoshop and illustrator have made this process much easier and quicker.

Some companies are capable of publishing an episode each week,

with sound as well, thanks to these methods of course an entire team tend to be working on the same

project which helps to speed things up.

Even if this example is manga, and i'm not overly fond of the manga style, i like how they put more emphasis

one the characters by giving them an outline and leaving the backgrounds as tones.

This helps separate the background from the characters.


I think i'll use a similar process for my animation, of course in my style.

Though i think i'll have my animation in black and white again, this time with some tone if i get the chance.

The comic pages sort of act as a story board in a sense even though i do believe they have storyboards as well.
