Solid drawing

Solid drawing refers to the animator having to think about the 3 dimensional properties of what is being drawn or animated. This is give objects properties such as volume and weight. Skilled animators need to be able to understand different aspects such as weight or light and shadow they must also understand perception as to allow characters to look real in their 3 dimensional space.






Appeal
Appeal is as important to a character as charisma is to an actor. For a character to feel appealing it must feel real and intriguing to it's viewer, this also applies to villains and monsters as being appealing is not always necessarily being sympathetic. To help a character better connect and appeal to it's audience, there are several principles that can be applied; a baby-like or symmetrical face can be used to create a likeable character. Where as a too over complicated face will be hard to read and may lack appeal.
