Animation Principles 003

Drawing for Animation

Character Development (Ongoing)

I am in the process of designing a character to animate based upon myself. I started with some pretty quick sketches to get an idea of the direction I want to go in. plus some other doodles.

Body Type Experiments

I wasn't liking how my hairstyle looked and I was unable to see anything different when looking at myself so I asked for some perspective from other people and they suggested an Elvis style. I took this and applied it to some characters and started toning it into something that I am now happy with,

Face Tests

I took the designs I like and started pushing the character in different directions. This helps me find extremes that I may like and also allows me to narrow down that the character is not.

 

 

Further Body Design

I think I am getting closer to the design I want, however, I will need to further my research on Plastic characters to full understand the construction.

Further Life Studies

Note: May be some doodles between studies.
