Shapes

I didn't make this up, it's something that has been done in production design both in live action and animation for a long time. It's a lot of fun to play with. Here is how I used it in a recent comic.

    Ever since I learned that shape theory I figured out why Pyramid Head (in the Silent Hill horror video games) is so terrifying, despite being a man with a pyramid head. (Besides the giant knife, I mean)--his head is a triangle, which reduces all organic forms in his vicinity to vulnerable circle shapes.

    I'm doing some storyboards in a city environment, and i'm having great difficulty with placing the buildings in different camera angles. When you start storyboarding and putting in layouts... how do you track and check where everything is? Right now i feel like i'm guessing and superficially putting buildings in for composition. I was hoping you could add this as a tutorial on your blog. Thanks!

    i heard about this! Disney princesses are always round faces because they're cute and beautiful and evil guys(like frollo and jafar) are triangles.
