Minor/Major Project: All 3 Character Orthographs

Tim

Now that I have finished drawing all 3 orthographs, I thought that it would be best to have them all in one post to see the similarities/differences in each character and it would be easier when seeing what needs improving.

Alex

Minor/Major Project: Character Orthograph - George

I found doing the additional George orthographs more challenging than the others. One of the reasons for this is that, as you can see, in the front view he hasn't got a neck and his shoulders are higher than the bottom of his head, so I had to think of a way to make it look believable and for him to have a neck, otherwise it would look weird when animating. The other issue was that I wanted it to look like it was part of the same "World" as the other characters, as sometimes it looked like a different style, closer to the Simpsons. Overall though, I think these have worked out quite well, and like the other two, most issues can be fixed when modelling.

I have now drawn the side view and back view of Alex, and I found them to be a bit more challenging than the orthographs for Tim. I couldn't seem to get the head to be at a good size, and so it was always too big - and it still is to some degree, despite it being in line with the original front view drawing. There are a few issues here, some of which are in the last set of orthographs as well, although some can be fixed when modelling. The back view looks a bit odd, I think, but this is probably just because it's the front view, but flipped round.

I have now drawn the side and back view orthographs of Tim, by following the front view. It was a bit of a challenge as I needed to draw in photoshop a bit more than I am used to, as I usually draw on paper first. They are all accurate to each other and so are lined up properly, although there are a few issues, but I think they are ones that can be fixed when modelling.

These are the front orthographics for each character. I am having trouble doing the side views and so Alan will help me with them. I drew these on paper before editing them in Photoshop to get them as accurate as possible, although I think there a few problems with each, including arms being slightly different lengths.

 

Adaptation B: Left, Right & Back of the Building

As I will be making a turnaround of the building, I have drawn the right, left and back of the building. I have tried to keep them all to scale so that it will be an easier task when I create the orthographs, that I can work from in Maya. There is still some tweeking needed in this regard. I'm quite happy with these, although I do think the side views are a bit too upright and could be a bit more crooked, so that I can match Scrooge's arched back, but this is something that is shown in the front view. I have tried to keep the same style, which I think I have done, and so each side looks similar to the front.
