Some notes from my reading:

3 ways to bring drawings to life:

1. character design: style and preference, however all characters need-
-an inner life
- visual distinction
- expressive traits
2. facial expressions
6 basic emotions :
-anger
-disgust
-fear
-joy
-sadness
-surprise
3. body language


Thoughts: After doing my homework for today (comic of 24 hours and 16 moments from a movie) I realize that I have not drawn with just a pencil in a while. What a weird thing considering that I sketched every single day. This is a result of drawing so much on the computer. How ridiculous. I need to get back into the sketching habit. When I started working digitally it was so weird for me to use my mouse and to create images in my style. Now, I find when I am drawing with a pencil and make a mistake I think to myself how much I would like to hit Cntrl Z.
