Turn Around Animations
A turnaround shows a character in different poses.
working in illustration and animation, chances are that at some point, you’ll be asked to create a turnaround. It is a vital tool for successfully modeling in 3D and keeping characters on model in 2D.
As the name suggests, a turnaround is a 360-degree view of a character that gives us all the information we need to know.
Gross Ups
An Extreme Close-Up of something disgusting. If done in an animated series, the close-up is usually drawn in a much more detailed style than the rest of the show.
First recognized in The Ren & Stimpy Show as it was used extensively, but the trope can be considered older than dirt in the sense that looking at something up close is bound to reveal its imperfections. John Kricfalusi, the creator of Ren & Stimpy says he drew the inspiration from Fleischer Popeye cartoons, though it was co-creator Bob Camp who coined the term “gross up.”
