LoliRock Characters Construction Model sheets and the âDo & Donâtâ sheets (Part 1)
On previous post (from Bertrand), you could see a fraction of the main pack, with turns, expressions and posing.These are the basic everyone needs in order to draw the character in the style of the show. However, on LoliRock, Bertrand went further.
We all knew our characters were very difficult to draw. Even very skilled designers such as Bertrand, Benedicte and Galou had trouble with them, during the whole production. So Bertrand created the construction model sheets above, in order to help everybody : the construction sheets are giving rules, while the âDo & Donâtâ sheets help to avoid the most current mistakes⊠and as you can see, itâs easy to do most of them.Â
Iâll be honest, we donât do this on every production, especially in France where budget are very limited. There is, most of the time, some âDo & Donâtâ, but theyâre created by the director or animation supervisor, and just before / while doing the animation. Now, putting it in right the main pack, and this much ? Well, some might consider that âoverkillâ, yet Iâm sure most of our designers and animators would disagree and were glad to have all these details right from the start. It helped them to avoid many âoff modelâ retakes, so it was definitely worth it. (Edit : after reading this post, I had a message from Julien Maret, one of our animation supervisor, who confirms he uses these sheets every day. ^_^)
Irisâs construction sheets were the first one Bertrand created, because you know, sheâs the main character and we werenât sure weâd have the time to create these sheets for other characters. Then, we did, and then he repeated his process for Talia, Auriana⊠and other to come very soon ! ;)Â
