This was a fun one to do with family and friends. I do need to keep an eye out for more examples of foreshortening and atmospheric perspective. I didn't notice it at the time but I heavily favor examples with heavy use of Overlapping. (Cosmic Odyssey- Mike Mignola, Blade Runner- Al Williamson, Fantastic Four- John Byrne, Empire Strikes Back- Al Williamson, Superman- Fleischer, King of Fighters- Shinkiro, Ghost in the Shell- Tatsunoko, Metal Slug- Shinkiro, Vision of Escaflowne- Sunrise, Return of the King- Alan Lee)

Hi Everyone! Can someone please tell me where the assignments are given? I can’t find that!

Haven't watched the show myself but it looks computer generated to my eye, using similar techniques seen in SpiderVerse and the newest Puss and Boots (Here's a making of feature for Puss and Boots. (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8l84ea) In essence it's 3d character models, on a digitally painted background with hand drawn effects and using an unusual frame rate to make a unique look. As a small 1 man crew I would recommend at looking at 3d programs and what projects individuals have been able to produce with that. I personally look at what people make with Blender since it is a free program. Keep an eye out for people using similar art styles to Arcane and try to deconstruct how they're making it or ask them about it. Once you dissect the the themes/characters/settings that you like in Arcane, as well as constructing and moving the characters, you will then need to figure out how to distill them into a short film that you and hopefully a small group of like minded individuals can create. Also, side note if you interested in Animating anything yourself it is probably a good idea to find a copy of Richards Williams The Animators Survival Kit. Kind of got off track there XD Hope you find some people that share your love for Arcane so you can all take a deeper dive into it.

Several headaches and scrapped graph paper later and I’ve started to get the hang of these! Think I may try some isometric graph paper next, I definitely have more of an appreciation for that style now. Feedback appreciated. Cheers to my first Proko post!

I know I'm turning in my Isometric Assignment a bit late to get Critiqued. But I honestly highly enjoyed messing around with my perspective viewpoints on this one using my lovely art tools today. I would love some Critique on it and how I can improve using my tools to create more fun stylized drawings. Got any advice Marshall or any fellow art students can give me pointers. I am gladly all ears and willing to listen and experiment further down.

Thank you for your time... and pronouncing my name correctly! I'll be sure to keep the rough and more finished work separate next time.

Really appreciate this video.

oof looking forward to seeing the critique and maybe bit more about the process. Spent entirely too much time with measuring lines/proportions and thinking about how I was going to do something "cool" when really I just need to just practice with the reference for many, many, more hours. It was kind of fun to use the T-square and triangle after so many years away from high school though... so not completely without joy. Hoping to do more on Monday, Happy Veterans day folks.

Not sure what Procreate dreams is but in terms of the writing that needs to be done to make an animation pilot I would recommend this book. https://www.amazon.com/How-Write-Animation-Jeffrey-Scott/dp/158567428 Also read some series bibles like this https://tvwriting.co.uk/tv_scripts/Collections/Animation/Batman/Batman_Writers%27_Guidelines.pdf Also Greg Weisman has his pitch for Gargoyles the Animated Series online, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8nWTHZVFz8 In terms of an actual pilot here is the one for Avatar the Last Airbender you can study: https://web.archive.org/web/20201105231213/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GprPhEnmxAA It's been many years since I watched it but I'm pretty sure the creators do a commentary over it discussing the process of getting the pilot made (It may be on the DVD) Ultimately I would recommend finding some of you favorite creators and try to track down as many interviews and videos of theirs as possible. Guys like Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack) have done many an interview discussing how they got their projects off the ground.

Used pencil for the isometric grid, Micron pens for the outlines, and copics for the shading.
