Model Sheets: Part I
December 13, 2007, filed under: Sketchbook, by Lex
In an effort to provide my readers with the “absolute edition” of this blog, I’m compelled to post model sheets of our three principle characters (transplanted over from the now defunct LEXPRESS PROD. BLOG of yesteryear). Model sheets are primarily used in animation, they give the animators a complete look at the characters from all angles and also provide info on how the character acts, different facial expressions, dos and don’ts, etc. Bob McKimson’s Warner Bros. model sheets are some of the best I’ve seen (above). The model sheets below were created specifically for sculpting purposes, not animation (although I suppose they could work…); these are the guides my sculptor uses for reference (check out the Hama sculpt in the SHOP to see just how good she is).
There are two different Kid B. model sheets because apparently the pose on the first one is difficult to make a mold from (the area between his closed hands and torso would be difficult to mold); you’ll notice I since changed the design on Nagling too.

That is interesting that the sculpture’s design is dictated by the process so. I guess I figured anything you sculpted could be molded and mass produced. I wonder if a designer who is also a sculptor takes this into account with all there concept/design work?
