Culminating Brainstorm

An artist known for her remarkable wildlife art, Hannah MacDonald began her journey with pencil drawings before progressing to painting, primarily using acrylic and oil. Her dedication to realism is evident in the meticulous effort she puts into her work, ensuring the animals depicted are as lifelike as possible.

Shane is an animator and illustrator at Adult Swim. He typically uses colours that aren't blended, but still accomplishes depth with the precision of his lines. He also likes to use vibrant, highly saturated colours, which I find make his work eye-catching. I will use this technique of strong lines and flat, unmixed colour to make my animation look like a well drawn cartoon. Shane's other style uses a lot of strong outlines, which gives his animations a comic book feel. This is the look that I will be going for with my animation, strong lines and saturated colours. One thing about Shane is that he uses very stylized forms and shapes, which I will not be going for. I will be trying to make the outline as close to reality as I can, but I will definitely follow in his footsteps when it comes to filling in his characters and shapes. Minimal colour mixing, but strong outlines and good colour theory will create the illusion of a 3D character in a 2D space. One thing I will not be taking from Shane is his lack of distance when it comes to his backgrounds. He typically creates objects in his characters immediate vicinity, but skimps out on fleshing out the world/scene his characters are in.

People & animals losing homes
Wind blows in at start, drying up trees. Followed by fire beginning a back of mountain range and slowly creeping over the top. Smoke from factory flows to behind mountain
Deer close to camera, eating berries from bush. Once fire starts the deer looks toward the background and runs away.
Carbon emissions increase temperatures, making it easier for wildfires to start
Factory in background producing smoke, smoke catches fire with the forest and factory begins pumping out fire from smokestacks

Hannah MacDonald is a regi student that specializes in wildlife art. She started her art career with pencil and coloured pencil drawings, but as she progressed she started to paint more. Painting is her main format at this point, alternating between acrylic and oil. Hannah typically spends a lot of effort in make sure the animals are as close to reality as she can. I do not plan on going for a realist take, but more of a flat colour, cartoon style. Hannah has a knack for creating complex scenery in her backgrounds. I plan on trying to do that as well, as I feel it helps her paintings feel like an actual environment rather than an empty space that has a deer and some trees. Hannah has also done digital paintings, including a photo composite that features her, with vibrant swirling brushstrokes. I plan on using the bright brushwork she uses in my animation, as a supplement to the basic geometric forms of the cartoon style I'm going for. Her good sense of scene creation, and vibrant colours mixed with relaxed tones are what I will be trying to recreate with my animation, as I want my animation to be as eye-catching as her paintings are.
