Ben Balistreri: How to Train Your Concepts

Ben Balistreri is a Character Designer and Storyboard Artist working for Dreamworks. He has done various designs on films and animaitons, including Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and How to Train Your Dragon.

 

I really like the simple, 'cartoony' drawings that he does, which is very faithful to the films and programmes that they are based on.




I particularly like how expressive a lot of the characters he designs are, despite being relatively simple. You can understand what the characters are like just from the drawings.


I would really like to do some character boards like this, demonstrating who the character is by simply showing them in a variety of poses. with no other information.
