Animation Portfolio Room Drawings

A huge part of the animation portfolio is the room drawing.  The room drawing is an opportunity to show the animation school that you’re applying to that you have a working knowledge of 2 point perpective.  For some schools, it also is a chance to pose a character within an environment.  In addition to the use of horizon-line and vanishing points, a useful idea for organizing the space within your room drawing can be the use of “levels” or “layers” within the drawing –  identifying fore-ground, mid-ground and back-ground.  These two basement music room drawings are by APW grad Aaron Hong.
