The goal of this entirely original project is to make a model sheet for a hypothetical animation studio producing a series called “The Curious Polliwog” about mute, frog-like creature making their way through life. To accomplish this, I drew the title character, also known as “The Toad”, using traditional media.
After scanning the preliminary work to my computer, I went back to the original drawing and added in lines to denote The Toad’s height, as well as labelling the sheet with the character’s name. I rescanned the image afterwards and then I brought the image into Photoshop where I adjusted the brightness levels of the model sheet, as my scanning equipment brightened it considerably.
A late addition to this project, recommended by a classmate, was an image of the Toad with a more expressive and lively character as a way of providing a sense of contrast. The end result was a Looney Tunes-like drawing of the Toad alongside an older gentleman who believes he is a reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
