AVENGERS ASSEMBLE: HAWKEYE!

Marvel Animation Character Design, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, Hawkeye Gesture Sheet.

For Season One of AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, my task was to adapt the art style and model designs established by Jeff Wamester. "Gesture Sheets" (also referred to as "Expression Sheets") are often done depicting various action poses, feature or costume details, distinctive traits or anatomy, and emotional expressions in order to provide the overseas animators with optimal information. Hawkeye can be a tough character to handle due to his archery theme. To help facilitate matters on my end, I referenced the works of artist Rodolfo Damaggio for a couple shots of Hawkeye using his bow. It was important to show the character doing this from interesting and dynamic angles, as well as on the move. Whether or not these poses would be translated directly to the screen is not especially critical. Gesture Sheets are primarily reference material.
