This lesson has two first’s. A new instructor has stepped up to the mic: Mike MacNerland, AND this is CartoonSmart’s first lesson with Adobe Illustrator (more to follow, I’m sure). This tutorial teaches character design using sweeping curves, unique angles, minimal shapes, and highly stylized, sometimes abstract forms. Cartoons like the Jetsons, and Flinstones are reference points for what this popular modern style grew out of. Ffor example look at the swooping continous line of Wilma Flinstone’s hair, Fred and Barney’s simple no necked egg shaped bodies, or the background art of the Jetson’s signature curvilinear universe.
