Creating Dynamic Characters from Loose Sketches

Alaine Baybayan is a character designer and animator on "My Adventures with Superman". She focuses on stylized, dynamic art, emphasizing foundational anatomy. Using references—from photos, life, or 3D models—is key to improving her work. She starts with loose sketches, often focusing on a hand or head, and builds around that. Tools like Clip Studio and Procreate help her plan perspective and composition. Practicing gestures and warming up before work helps her understand how the body works in different positions, making her art more dynamic and alive.
