AN 20/30 Stop Motion Character Design

Your next job is going to be to create a stop motion figure. Our characters are going to be block people. They will follow the basic idea behind this video, except the spas for the body and head will have square corners.

Step 1

Design your character in Procreate. Draw a front and a back profile and include any reference images if you are recreating an existing character.

Here are a few sketches to get you to think about your characters.

Your next step in the process is to build your own stop motion character.

Materials
MDF blocks (various sizes)

Step 3
