Pens and Nibs

They also had film footage showing how Schulz drew his characters, and had samples of the pens and different size nibs that he used. They said that how the different thickness of pens would be used for different expressions with the mouths and how something as subtle as the thickness of Schulz pen stroke could dictate a totally different expression with a character. Rain was another example of Schulz using lines to symbolise how heavy the rain was.

When I worked on my sculpture project and did my gif for Undo-do-Redo, I used a paper bag as a mask and changed the expression of the face with the eyes and mouth. For me my expressions were quite obvious- basic ones, but in Peanuts, Schulz did manage to create a range of emotions that covered every mood and feeling.
