It'd help some people with drawing characters.
Here's what's on a reference sheet:
-Basic pic of character, and character name
-Appearance of character
-Colour Key
All I could think of. >_<

Also, on the side a referance sheet shows different facial expressions of the charater I.E. Scared, Angry, content etc.

Hmmm, not sure about "reference sheets" but model sheets generally consist of front, back and side views of a particular character. Facial model sheets are like what Megz described.
They help SO much.

Well, actually, reference sheets and model sheets are basically the same thing.

Oooh! Usually, Model Sheets (or whatever ya wanna call them) are usually used by Animators in a certain studio. Whenever the head animators design a new character, they create model sheet depicting the size of character by 'head height', or their height by number of standardly drawn human heads, breaking their body down into shapes, and pointing out certain physical character traits in emotions and other poses. The original character models for famous characters such as Mickey Mouse and Tweety Bird are actually pretty expensive and valuable to 'Cartoon Groupies', so having an old character chart when you become famous may be handy.  Usually they create seperate drawings for color charts, but hey, we aren't professionally animating stuff here! ;D (at least I don't think so...  ) |
