Rolling Up
Here we go again. This time, full blown NURB craziness. I basically used the baby drawing in the cuteness handout we received in class as my key reference for proportions. To make the model, I basically started out with a sphere. I then add some isoparms and pull and morph the sphere into a head shape. Bulbous cranium and prominent cheek shelf; the key to a cute cartoon head. I then made a duplicate of the head and flipped it to create the body. Essentially the body is the counterweight to the head visually and physically. Taking from the Japanese version of cuteness, aka “CHIBI”, the legs are spheres stretched to a round point.
