Model sheets, sometimes called character sets or “settei”, are drawings of characters in various views that are distributed to teams who work on the same animations, comics, or other art or illustration projects for which consistency in the rendering of the character must be maintained between several different artists.
Model Sheets (@modelsheets) is a Twitter feed on which the user is posting model sheets and similar character standardization drawings from a number of sources and for a variety of projects, past and present.
I don’t normally post about things like Twitter feeds that require an account or login, but there is also a website (not related) called Settei.net, that offers a number of similar drawings.
