Forgive me for the lousy drawing of the cars, but I'm not pixar and they they did a grand job of creating the feature film Cars! The cars that I've drawn are just to illustrate a thought that went through my mind last night as I started to watch some of the extras of the Pixar film Cars, and just wanted to share my thoughts. And its to do with the way that Pixar characterized their cars. Pixar have placed the eyes of the car on the windscreen, and it has taken me until yesterday to remember a game I played as a kid where I used to look at cars on the road and decide which ones were happy, which were angry and which were sad by looking at the headlights and bonnet (hood). For example if you look at the old Volkswagen Beetle in my opinion this looks as if it might be sad, by the placement of the headlights and the bonnet. Whereas I always used to think that the BMW had a rather stern and angry look to it due to the shape of the headlights. So here I have drawn a car exactly the same only changing the position of the eyes to see if placing the eyes in the headlights would maybe have worked better than in the windscreen. I don't know but, but it'd be great to hear your opinions. Pixar Style Characterization
