106 – CDQ ARTICLE ‘THE LANGUAGE OF SHAPES, WITH TOM HÄNNI’

April 12, 2020

An Art-Ickle in Issue 9 of the Character Design Quarterly Magazine, entitled 'The Language of Shapes, with Tom Hänni' was the topic for this weeks episode; It really got me thinking about the Power of Shapes and Lines when Designing and Creating Characters.

This one covers stuff like:

Drawing Exercises to Loosen Up,
The Power of Writing,
Keeping it Simple ... Stupid,
Lines of Action,
Detailing vs Simplifying,
Big Bastard Basic Shapes,
Silhouettes,
Sketching,
and Tom Hänni's Characters.

I also eat an Easter Egg lol, hope you like this one :)
