put together some notes ive taken on it hope this helps !!!

also keep in mind that a lot of episodes have different quirks and things to them since different boarders always implemented their own art styles so it can be very flexible. what im saying is you dont really have to stick to specific things for it to feel like adventure time (some examples between tom herpich boards and steve wolfhard boards noted below. i take a lot of inspiration from both of them so this is mainly what i look at when im drawing AT. all panels taken from the tower storyboard)

i also sometimes take from the "how to draw adventure time" guide, it was made very early in production so obviously a lot of things have changed but who else would i take advice from other than the crew themselves (also i think they explain it way better than me so this is probably the part youre interested in) ALL CREDIT TO THE AT CREW FOR THE NEXT FEW IMAGES!!!

this style is deceptively VOLUMETRIC rather than flat (for a flatter style imagine something like Danny Phantom or Samurai Jack). it's simple but it still heavily relies on a basis of anatomy and strong sense of form. Drawing lots and lots of adventure time comics helped me get better at form and made it easy to push myself with perspective in the shots/camera angles I used!

There’s also a little bit of freedom with what’s “on model” since the boarders’ styles greatly influence the final outcome. Here are some of the most distinctive:
