There is space between character design and animation that many don’t understand but makes an impact to the final frame- the stuff requires a lot of patience/planning and is difficult for normies to understand the value since they can’t see it- it’s only at the end we feel it!

Behind one beautiful character rigg is a thousand beautiful character sculptures hidden inside it’s topology. So much work but no one will even notice.. they’ll only be able to feel it!

Artists: All good art has invisible structure. Think of the structure of a poem. Think of iambic pentameter. Or a sonnet that gives form. Think of a fugue or country-and-western. Think of perspective. Things that limit but determine the work, that we push against and are freed…

There are no rules. There isn’t even a Disney style. It’s really all about the individual artist and what feels satisfying for them apart from what is “correct.”

As much as we try to look the same we are so different and as different as we look we are so similar!

As an animation character designer who started in 2007, with the development and access that the internet brought, ironically it feels like there are less different styles in general. Did access to other people’s work develop into less individuation and experimentation?

Sometimes learning looks like failing three times and still making no progress.. then failing further over a long period of time- during that process to not lower your standards and having mentors that are honest is essential- digesting a lecture is different from embodying it!

I think the reason why the nine old men at Disney really were about passing down principles and values more then techniques.. is that they wanted the future generations to experiment not copy their own work. That’s the valuable thing we can learn from the past!

You frame for the performance first, everything else needs to work around that- it’s not an exhibition of your perspective skills but having something meaningful to express through images*

For me, whether the final result is an animated CG picture projected on a flat screen, a volumetric sculpture in a museum or a painting hanging on a wall.. there’s no shortcut on starting from a foundation on observational life drawing*

“Character designs” for K dramas are so archetypical it’s become it’s own language- curly hair signals blank.. facial hair signals blank.. even the same secondary actors who signal the same tropes.. so interesting!
