Breaking down art
|
One of the first steps I took when defining our art style was to try and break down art from different artist in order for me to come up with similarities and differences. I aim to include similarities and to fuse differences in a cohesive and non-fractured way. The goal as stated earlier is to properly represent the subject and this also includes having art that is immediately recognizable to people familiar with Finnish artists and animators. Different ways of analyzing the art was to look at individual aspects of the construction of the art, such as line work, colors, values, perspectives, angles, textures, proportions as well as characteristics of objects and organisms represented in the art work. This may include facial expressions and body language of humanoids and animals. As an example of this, by looking at the following pieces of art, you can see that the overall line work shares similarities. For instance, the environments are, in the majority of the time, build up using curved lines.
