Week 03 Announcements

Hey everyone! Great job on this week's hw, you guys all really pulled it off!

This week's hw is fairly simple, this is what you will have to do. Remember that this is all due Monday morning 12am aka "Sunday night!"



  • Each teammate is required to CREATE three different styles each and draw 20 sketches per style. So three characters, one per style is recommended. It's basically what you all have been doing these past few weeks! Please remember head shots and bust shots do not count as full bodies; those are extra. You get marked down if you do not do the amount you need to, we already have!

  • It's ok if you don't want to work digitally yet. Since you're all back to new sketches, you're all welcome to sketch traditionally and scan them. If that is the case though, please be sure your drawings are visible and there are no traces of paper!

  • TEAM LEADERS this week are the second quietest people in your group. Team leaders, please be sure to create a new sort of template inevitably for future style guide usage. Even for next week, it'd be interesting to see if you guys can whip out a new template for your team. Remember have everyone's name on them! Number your sketches!

  • You are welcome to pick a new movie, however we still recommend live action movies! Continue to post up those reference pages! Be sure to also make a style guide if you have to! If you get a lot of inspiration from certain shows and styles, be sure to jumble them up in pages of reference for us to see. Present these along with your other reference pages!


Think about what Hong taught you in class today and think about how you'll all create your own unique styles. What makes a style unique? Why are you doing this, is it fun or is it a chore for you? Style creation should be something fun and exciting, it will also inevitably help you develop your own style for the future! What element is strong in your design, line or shape? Does it look too similar to a certain style? Is is even considered, "unique"? What does unique mean to you guys? What sorts of styles pop out in your eyes, and why? Consider all of these questions and apply them into your art.
