What's so Appealing of a yellow circular triangular Pikachu? He is just an electrical mouse creature right? Unless you are advanced in art, one of these 3 subconscious tips will help you out with designing an illustration. Il touch on it lightly to keep the video short. Anyways welcome to VNA.
1. The three shapes in art, circle, triangle and square
First things first we all know simple shapes like circles, squares and triangles right? Did you know each has a subconscious meaning? a circle is quite soft and friendly, a square is quite strong and reliable, and triangle is quite sharp and exciting. Combined they are super effective, Look at the three starter Pokémon of gen
1: check out the circular form of Sqiurtle, the square form of Bulbasaur and the triangle form of Charmander. in their first evolution they all start roundish in general, when they evolve there characteristics get stronger, more squared.
2. This brings me to another point, color. They represent their element right? blue water, green plant and red fire.... yeah did you know there is a subconscious bonus effect to this? blue symbolizes trust and reliability, green is harmonious and growth red is dangerous and exciting. These colors have more meaning to them.
3. How to increase size of characters? Pokémon is such a perfect example, check out Machamp, he is strong right? he looks like a wrestler and has four arms... yes, but look closely next to his square and triangle like design his chest is very broad and his belly area is thin, this gives him a subconscious punch of strength, especially compared to his first evolution Machop, bigger belly then his chest.. making him look weaker in comparison.
