Genndy Tartakovsky’s art style is known for its bold features and exaggerated proportions. His characters are often made up of simple, easily recognizable shapes, which makes them distinct and memorable. Even in 2D, the characters are shown in dynamic poses, adding a lot of personality to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the most important aspects of his style is the strong silhouette of his characters, making them instantly recognizable. Tartakovsky tends to prioritize clarity and impact over detailed designs, which helps make his characters stand out. Each of his characters has a unique design that makes them different from one another, as well as from other animated characters in general. A good example of this can be seen in the main cast of Hotel Transylvania.

Tartakovsky’s work combines elements of both Japanese samurai films and Western animation, which is particularly noticeable in the smooth, exaggerated action sequences. He uses bold colours, expressive character designs, and deliberate pacing to create a visually striking experience. His approach is all about making the visuals clear and impactful, while also conveying strong emotions through animation. This balance between simplicity and power makes his style stand out and keeps his work fresh and captivating. Lastly here is my own study of his art style.
