Line Work

When l decided on the line style for the characters, l had to think of the definition of the characters through the strength og the lines. ln the earlier drawings l had used basic lines, but it was amazing how different strengths of lines, especially the heavier lines as the outline of the character brought them to life.

One of the problems l also faced was that when the quicktimes were viewed on the computer the line work looked very jagged, at one stage l thought l was going to have to rethink the whole style of the characters and revert to the original coloured in idea. l spoke to Darren and he filled me on on th ewhole interlacing process and the way things are rendered. So it was really just a computer thing and it will show fine on a tv screen. For viewing on the computer screen it is just a case of adjusting some of the settings and it views fine.
