Pablo Lobato is a Graphic Designer turned illustrator from Argentina who regularly is commissioned to do work for the New York Times, Time Magazine and Rolling Stone. I think it's important to stretch out influences beyond animation, so although I appreciate designing character isn't important for this module, I still think this work is really exciting and there is still something you can take from it.
Jay-Z
2 Pac
Snoop Dogg
After looking at the images of rappers I think one thing you can take from this designers work is the way theres a continuity in the shapes to lead your eye round the character in each of the poses and I think this should be the same for Moom's keyframes. They need to be really strong with lines that flow really nicely to lead your eye round the shape of the body. Another thing I think is really insightful in all of this illustrators work is his natural ability to frame each of the characters in the picture. Especially with Jay-Z, Prince and Woody Allen, I really like the way each of them sit on the rule of thirds, but have some sort of detail in the center to bring them more into a focal point. Such as Woody Allen's ear, Jay-z's cigar and Prince's hair, just to compliment the off central picture.
Barrack Obama
Prince
When looking on Pablo Lobato's blog I discovered this:
I did this illustration many years ago, just because I wanted to. I love Prince’s music and I enjoy drawing people I admire. He saw it…liked it, and bought it!!! It was used last year for the poster of Coachella. Man, I’m so proud!!I really enjoyed this little fact, I think it makes the designer more relatable to when you get to read human statements like this.
Bob Dylan
Woody Allen
