Character Design ANM_633

Here's what I've done for my character design class the first half of the semester!

For week (module) 7: Caricatures!





For week (module) 6: Drawing the head realistically


For week (module) 5: Focus on clothing






Extra Credit during module 4: Villains. A drew a cat-burgler and a snob! The characters were supposed to have a strong silhouette.






For week (module) 4: Shape Drawings. We drew random shapes and turned them into characters. I must note that I did not draw this particular shape from this angle & it was one of my least favorite shapes but it ended up turning into a character I really like.






For week (module) 3: Using reference for the pose +inspiration to make a fanciful character


For week (module) 2: Exaggeration from reference


For week (module) 1: Drawing from reference.
