# Cartoon Style

Bold shapes. Graphic color. Readability over realism.

## When to Use
- Cartoon games / animated props and characters
- Exaggerated silhouettes and expressions
- When anime cel language is too specific

## Tenets
1. Silhouette first
2. Exaggerated proportions
3. Limited palette, bold accents
4. Soft or graphic shading (project choice)
5. Detail in shapes, not micro-PBR

## Handoff
`character-artist` / `prop-artist` → `materials` → `lookdev`
