Here is a big collection of scans from the Preston Blair book that gives beginners a good basis on understanding cartooning form and language.

Keep in mind, most experienced people do not draw using "wireframes" like some of these drawings illustrate. Those are merely there to help the viewer see the joints, not so they can get into the habit of drawing stick figures and then forms afterwards. Most artists already start out drawing basic circles or squares for forms and then further define it afterwards.

Some people like to make the production art fun to read for some of the artists. It's often referred to as the "series bible". The person posting the Spongebob model sheets is demonstrating that, going beyond "How to draw the characters" and giving some tips on how to push poses, how to stage the acting, how to make their silhouettes pop.

Back in the 2D days, animators for Disney had around 3 - 6 months (depending on the schedule) to practice and get good at drawing the character consistently on-model at all times. Even though all these artists are top-notch, even they needed time to adjust to a new style or to get everyone to draw in a uniform way. The animators there were rarely able to just nail the style down week one.

Other artists in the production crew (Sometimes the director themselves) would create guides to help them deconstruct and understand it.

When working with CG, all the model sheets are done in 2D first. It's much easier to do, you're able to do a lot more in less time, and it gives the sculptors and rigging artists something to work off of. It helps the CG artists have a set goal in what the final character should look like as well as help them place the points for rigging to make certain faces and expressions achievable.

Sometimes, depending on the size of the crew, the people who sculpt the CG models and the people who add the rig to make it animatable are two different departments. Quite a bit of scripting and programming goes into making a rig to make it so certain elements will react to other elements when this, that, and the other thing are triggered. Kind of like a website, you might have one person who designs it and the other person who brings it to life. Maybe even a third department to deal with debugging (Often with clothes, fur, hair, face warping, other clipping issues).

Disney has entire departments dedicated to cloth simulation. Another set of artists dedicated to just the texture of the clothing.

The one Tiger dancer model might have had 15+ people poking at it before the animator finally gets their hands on it.

This argument works for instances where the show tries to be more energetic, but we're talking about two very different levels of tone. So SU is going to have more mellow expressions to match its more toned down approach.

Not recently because this is mostly a bait board now thanks to current political climate and comic association with that. Still good stuff like this thoug. Seen some of these Disney ones before but never the spongebob ones

What is this thin to thick lines the LAS character sheets keep referring to? I don't quite get line weights.

File: none vs thickthin.png (7KB, 254x468px) Image search: [Google]

7KB, 254x468px

>>91968790
It's referring to line weight. Adding some thin and thickness to your linework can give your art a more organic feeling, because it gives the illusion of some part of the body either being closer to the camera or physically heavier in weight. For example, the bottom of the head would have thicker line because it's where the weight sinks vs. the top of the head which would look better thinner.

You can see in some of the drawings that things like the eyes, lips, top of the hair, creases, and skin folds are much thinner than things like the bottom of the hands, thighs, bottom of the chin, etc.
