Exaggeration
This came from me pulling faces and drawing them but emphasising certain parts for example the mouth and eyes.I wanted my drawings to be a exaggerated version of me and i feel that in order to have achieved this i needed to pick out key characteristics from my self and the main one was my hair. During this project i started by drawing a very detailed version of my final design and decided that because i wanted it to move smoothly when animated that it would only need to move it very slightly in each frame and so because i would have to keep drawing the same image over and over again i needed to simplify my design so that it would be less time consuming, and so that people would focus more on whats happening to the facial expressions than the detail to the hair or eyes.
Although this was a very time consuming project i really enjoyed this one because i am really into character design and so facial expressions are all involved in this and so it has helped me learn how i can morph one face into another to create a series of expressions which people recognise straight away.
If i did this again i know that the one thing i wouldn't do is double line all of my drawings because although the thicker line looks more effective it took so much longer and i think that drawing a single outline would have taken less time.
