Why would your animated character be a realistic human who lives on a regular house, when he can be a yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea? That is what my teacher once said to me.

So what I learned from this is 1. Put a bunch of shapes together to make a silhouette 2. Make sure the silhouette has defined features to make it stand out 3. Color contrast is important on both the characters and the characters with the background 3. Make it somewhat simplistic but not too much 4. Exaggerate poses but again not too much 5. All kinds of body types are good 6. Draw more shapes to make more interesting characters 7. Draw line ups (with variety) 8. Use references 9. Also good palettes 10. Story is important when going with different styles

Character design is very subjective! That's so important to remember when designing.

I feel like the redesign of the demon and human lost the whole idea of its comedic value. The original had the demon looked surprised while the human looks to the demon with a smug look as if the human managed to fool the demon. Now have the demon just focused on looking at his scroll while the human focuses on reading out loud from his book and it generates a sense of seriousness, which isn't bad at all. However, it takes away the comedic personality the original was trying to convey and plus the comedic value from the original focuses on the facial expressions, thus a full body wouldn't really be necessary. (Yes, I saw a comment that mentioned about this and I fully agreed.) However, I felt the idea of exaggerating the body shapes of both the human and demon does help improve the drawing in some aspects. A very nice contrast between the two, nonetheless.

A great way to make your character look dangerous is to; A. Make them out of triangles. B. GIVE THEM A BIG ASS SWORD.

I'm a multimedia arts student and this video is literally EVERYTHING we've been studying for the first few semesters. I genuinely reference some of their philosophies because this is how it's taught to us as well, and I guess BaM makes it easier for me to remember. Art is genuinely subjective but I think the flak really comes from the idealism of Western animation lol. It's also important to note that these are character designs for animation. The redesigns are "improved" so that 1) it's easier to animate, 2) it's easier to advance the storyline, 3) it's easier to remember how to draw them when referenced. Shape language doesn't only convey personality but it's technical that we can actually reference to them when in-betweening, storyboarding, all that.
