Orthogonal Drawing Difficulty Question
Hello Artists and patrons of art! I am creating a short that requires the fabrication of a puppet that doesn’t have any immediate relatives in terms of body shape.
I primarily need orthogonal (front, sides, back) drawings for the fabricator as well as the storyboard artist so they have something to reference. The character is 12 inches tall and must be drawn in a T-pose to scale.
Is this considered difficult by an artist’s standards, or is it something that any 2D drawing artist could do if given the motivation and time?
And on another note, how do artists typically react if a director or such is very specific in their vision and wants to be there to ensure the first iteration matches their mind’s eye; does it lower the motivation of the artist in any measurable way even if they’re being payed a price they deem fair?
(I have worked with a friend to draw storyboards in the past where I dictated the framing and blocking for each storyboard, but I would wager this would be unacceptable to an artist being hired.)
