Cyber Garage Project Character Turn-Around Model Sheets

The Turn-around Model Sheet gives you the design of the character from five different angles.  As in all model sheets, it is intended only to be a guide.  In the Squash and Stretch Principal of Animation (see, Bouncing Ball animation tutorial), all characters can stray from the fixed look of the turn-around.  Turn-Around model sheets are intentionally drawn to look mechanical as they are a study in anatomy and not personality.  When you animate your scene, what will be required is a character with personality.
