Anyway, I found the answer when I looked it up in in Google Image search.
Character studies are just mood/personality drawings.

Model sheets are just drawings to show how a character is constructed how to draw different poses, and facial expressions, etc. as a point of reference.


Question answered - end of thread, unless someone with more incite has something to share.

I know a model sheet is a guide animators and cartoonists use to help draw a character; it shows what characters look like from difference views, relative sizes, facial expressions, poses, etc. What is the difference between that and a "character study"? I have heard artists use the term "character study".Aren't they basically the same thing, or is a "character study" just a series of drawings of a character that are made to get the feel of a character's personality? Can some please define "character study" is in art terms and explain what the difference between that and a model sheet? Please help - thank you.


I was an art student- I was not 100% sure what a "character study" is - I have seen animators and other artists use this term.

I think this is what I meant to ask:

What is the technical term for mood/personality sketches if it isn't called a "character study"?

A "character study" from what I understand is a written analysis of a character's personality in a work of literature.What is the technical term for mood/personality sketches if it isn't called a "character study"? I did a Google image search on "character study" and found images of personality.mood drawings of characters, not model sheets- please help.

IS there someone here who can please answer this question? Because when I Google images of "character studies" I get character stills not model sheets.

This is an example of what I was talking about:

This is "character study sketches"- how is this different from a model sheet?

@JGoldman10,
I really have no idea at all, but when I look at it it seems to be this:

character study shows different feelings expressed in the face and in body language.
Model sheet shows only the body in different positions without any form of feelings. Front, sideways, back.

@saab,
I want to be sure about this- I was an animation student, so I know what a model sheet is.

@Butrflynet,
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BEHAVIOR. I DID NOT ASK YOU WHAT YOU THOUGHT. I HAVE ASKED YOU COUNTLESS TIMES TO STOP GOING ELSEWHERE AND BRINGING UP STUFF ABOUT ME ON OTHER SITES- THAT IS HARASSMENT. WHAT I DO ON OTHER SITES IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS OR CONCERN -STOP MAKING IT YOUR BUSINESS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY MORE TIMES I NEED TO SAY THAT TO YOU. YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER OR PASTOR SO BACK OFF. I AM NOT A CHILD AND I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU. YOU ARE ON HERE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO TURN OTHERS AGAINST ME.

I AM SICK OF YOUR ABUSE AND BLATANT DISRESPECT TOWARDS ME.

I REPORTED YOU TO THE ADMINS.

YOU CLAIM I AM ABUSING PMS BY TELLING PEOPLE OFF - SOME OF THESE DEVILS NEED TO BE TOLD OFF.

I AM NOT SACRED OF ANYONE ON HERE- ESPECIALLY YOU.
