Character Design - Shapes




Shapes from hannahgautrey



Example of a circular characters.


Mr potato head and Russell are both friendly characters, who are calm and have friendly personalities, this is typical of a 'circular' character.








Triangular Characters

The Tasmanian Devil and Gru both have villainous characters and are represented as the evil characters (for Gru, an ex-villian). Similar to triangles they have sharp personalities. The triangular shape also represents strength, which is often needed in a  intimidating villain.








Square Characters
Squares due to their stability are represented as stable and strong, which can be seen in Spongebob and Carl Fredricksen as they are very set in their ways, and for Spongebob, confident.


Here are some other characters that can be represented as shapes:
Here is a sheet where we drew out the shapes in each character:
