- Now it's time to take a look at the model sheets.…A model sheet is as the name suggests…a sheet of paper or an image that has the character…in various positions, angles, expressions.…And here we have our space fox laid out…with these lines and head heights…on the left side of the screen…so you can see he's one, two,…three, four head heights tall.…For this purposes of this construction…that's been easier just to split them up this way.…Another character might have four heads…that are in four separate spheres,…but it's handy because if you notice the hair…more or less starts at a half-head…on top of the full head.…
And you'll notice also I've actually measured…this head sphere to be the base of his neck.…His skull is actually roughly about to here.…it doesn't really go all the way down.…It's close enough and so by measuring the head…from here it gives you a really good feeling…for the rest of the dimensions of the character.…So if I'm to draw the figure…if I'm drawing a sketch of him…and I want him here,…I know that his end of his waist…
