Cartoon Style

Bold shapes. Graphic color. Readability over realism.

When to Use

• Cartoon games / animated props and characters
• Exaggerated silhouettes and expressions
• When anime cel language is too specific

Tenets

1. Silhouette first
2. Exaggerated proportions
3. Limited palette, bold accents
4. Soft or graphic shading (project choice)
5. Detail in shapes, not micro-PBR

Handoff
